QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should ICE agents be trained at Fort Leonard Wood?
Matthew Sanders
Both of Missouri’s U.S. senators are telling the Trump administration that a Missouri location would be a great place to train new ICE officers.
Sen. Josh Hawley wrote a letter last week saying Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County would be an ideal place to train ICE agents. In his letter, Hawley noted the agency’s expanded role in detaining illegal immigrants for deportation.
Sen. Eric Schmitt followed up this week at a committee hearing, giving a pitch similar to the one Hawley made in writing.
Do you think ICE agents should be trained in Mid-Missouri? Let us know by voting in the poll.
