DHS Identifies Leakers Who Sabotaged ICE Operations, Noem Vows To Hold Them Accountable

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that her department has identified individuals responsible for leaking sensitive information related to ICE enforcement actions. Noem stated that those found guilty of compromising operations would face termination and potential legal consequences.

The leaks in question involved an ICE operation targeting criminal illegal immigrants in Los Angeles. The information, leaked to the press and published in early February, sparked protests and alerted activists ahead of time, allowing potential targets to evade arrest. Noem condemned the leaks, saying they endangered law enforcement officers and disrupted critical operations.

Speaking on Fox News, Noem explained that DHS has been aggressively investigating the leaks using polygraph tests and email monitoring. “We have identified some leakers and will continue to find more,” she said. She emphasized that leaking classified details to the media for political purposes is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

President Donald Trump has reversed many of the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies, restoring ICE’s ability to carry out large-scale operations. However, resistance from sanctuary cities has made enforcement more challenging. The recent leaks only added to those difficulties, undermining efforts to remove criminals from US communities.

Noem made it clear that those responsible will face the full force of the law. “If they are breaking the law, we are prosecuting them,” she stated, reaffirming her commitment to protecting law enforcement officers.

DHS has not yet disclosed the names or agencies of those involved, but Noem confirmed that the investigations are ongoing.
