Border Czar Tom Homan has issued a stern warning regarding the leaking of sensitive details related to ICE operations, stating that anyone found responsible will face serious repercussions, including potential jail time, job termination, and criminal prosecution. He specifically accused the FBI of leaking information about upcoming raids, particularly one planned in California, which he claims has jeopardized the safety of ICE agents by giving criminals advance notice.
Homan disclosed that a criminal investigation is currently underway to address these leaks, with the possibility of felony charges if it is determined that there was intentional sabotage involved. He emphasized that such leaks not only undermine federal law enforcement efforts but also impede the Department of Homeland Security’s ability to effectively enforce immigration laws.
In his remarks, Homan sought clarification from the Deputy Attorney General regarding the threshold at which these leaks become a serious concern, highlighting the significant risks they pose to ICE operations and national security. The investigation is ongoing, with ICE collaborating closely with other agencies to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
This assertive approach underscores the Trump administration’s dedication to enforcing immigration laws and safeguarding the well-being of ICE agents in the field.
