Though you say USCIS is adhering to training requirements, I’m being told by your own staff that the 5½ week Federal Law Enforcement Training Academy basic training program has been discontinued as of mid-August. It would be good news to hear this isn’t true. — PolitiTweet.org

USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli @USCISCuccinelli

This is false. Specialized training for asylum officers is required by statute and we are adhering to that. @USCIS… https://t.co/z1g5w4XPi4

Together, these actions are just another way for the Trump administration to make it harder for refugees to seek asylum. This kind of hateful behavior is unacceptable, and only makes the humanitarian crisis Donald Trump has created even worse. — PolitiTweet.org

According to USCIS’s website, this basic training program is required for all asylum officers. Your staff are worried that discontinuation will lead to inconsistent training/processing of asylum claims; it is important that each refugee receive a competent and unbiased hearing. https://t.co/u51uABGn1e — PolitiTweet.org
