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

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

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

Americans would appreciate any evidence you can provide showing the existing 5½ week training program has not been discontinued. Cutting training would greatly damage our asylum program and wouldn’t be fair either to our officers or to refugees seeking safety and asylum. — PolitiTweet.org
