Tricia McLaughlin

Tricia McLaughlin appears in The ICE hiring boom as the [[USDepartmentOfHomelandSecurity|DHS]] spokesperson who told NPR that officers were receiving the same number of training hours as before. Her role in the wiki is attached to the episode’s disputed Federal Law Enforcement Training account.

The source contrasts McLaughlin’s statement with NPR’s description of DHS-provided numbers indicating 14 weeks of training and with documents released by Richard Blumenthal’s office that appeared to show fewer hours for new recruits. The wiki should keep those claims source-scoped and unresolved.
