But the Llanez family never learned whether Gonzalez had followed ICE training protocols, because the way ICE agents are trained has been largely hidden from the public.
For years, civil-rights groups have sought to obtain, with limited success, complete ICE training documents to understand how that training affects use of force by agents in the field.
And they also appear to place an emphasis on teaching ICE agents how to justify the use of force.
Among the most important lessons ICE agents receive is when and how to use deadly force.
One of the questions asks which steps an officer must take before initiating deadly force; the answer is "None, deadly force can be initiated immediately."
