More than one in three new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recruits are failing the agency's basic fitness test, according to a new sprawling report by The Atlantic.
The test, administered at ICE's training academy in Brunswick, Georgia, requires recruits to complete 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and a 1.5-mile run in under 14 minutes. Four ICE officials told the outlet that over a third of trainees have failed, prompting concern among senior staff about the physical readiness of incoming officers.
