Deadly Ties: ICE's Troubling Training History A disturbing trend has emerged in the shadows of the contentious issue of immigration policy and enforcement: the militarization of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents through training programs run by questionable instructors.
David S. Norman, founder and proprietor of TruKinetics LLC, a law enforcement training firm based in Arizona, was involved in at least four lethal shootings during his time as a Phoenix Police officer.
Norman's involvement in these incidents is particularly concerning given his role in training ICE's Special Response Teams (SRTs), which have been increasingly deployed for civil immigration enforcement, crowd control, and basic warrant service.
