WASHINGTON — The word came down in a memo that might as well have been written in spray paint across the walls of every federal law enforcement office in the country: Stop. ICE goes first.

At the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers in Georgia, the classrooms will stay dark. The gun ranges will stay quiet. The instructors will stand around drinking burnt coffee because their students—the National Park rangers, the military police, the inspectors general, the TSA recruits—have been told to come back in 2026. Uncle Sam doesn’t have the time or the space for them.

Why? Because Donald Trump got his “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” through Congress and it dropped a mountain of cash into the lap of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Ten thousand new deportation cops, plus another thousand for Homeland Security Investigations. The president’s pet project has to be trained yesterday, so the rest of the federal government is told to wait their turn.
