U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching a class for private citizens in Chicago on how to arrest undocumented immigrants.

Participants will learn about Chicago's Enforcement and Removal Operations unit, how to draw up a subject's background and acquire knowledge about the Office of Principal Legal Advisor, a team of more than 1,000 attorneys that provides legal counsel to ICE.

'After completion of the ECA, a graduation ceremony will be held on Friday, October 23, 2020; graduates will be awarded a certificate and a commemorative coin. Continuing Education Credits [CEUs] may be available upon request.'

Can't help but think of Hitler's citizen informants.  What's next? Deputization of course graduates?
