JUST IN: Kristi Noem Has Identified ICE Raid Leakers: ‘They Will Be Fired’

At long last, pro-illegal immigrant leakers within the U.S. government’s ranks are being put on ice.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Tuesday that she and White House border czar Tom Homan have discovered the source of leaks within U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement, which have led to tipped-off reporters before raids commenced, putting the lives of immigration authorities at risk.

“I have found some leakers, we’re continuing to get more,” she announced on Fox News Monday night.

Just weeks earlier, Homan told a stunned Sean Hannity that leakers compromised raids in Aurora, Colorado, and Los Angeles, California, days before they took place. In both cases, he said, news outlets reported that ICE officials were about to enter the city, giving illegal immigrants the opportunity to hunker down or flee.

Although Noem did not disclose what agency may be responsible for the leaks, Homan, in his interview, suggested the trail led back to the FBI.

“We know the first leak in Aurora is under current investigation. We think we’ve identified that person under investigation. Right now, the California leak, Secretary Noem, she’s correct – some of the information we’re receiving tends to lead toward the FBI,” he told Hannity.

Noem reiterated that no matter where they work, they will be “fired” and face “consequences” for their insubordination.

“Remember, when they leak information to the press in order to blow an op, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. They are risking their lives and putting their families in the position where they’ll have to live without those individuals any further.”

“You bet we have used every tactic that we have,” Noem went on, detailing how DHS has begun employing polygraphs, or lie detector tests, to determine which individuals inside the federal government were responsible. Other sources of evidence include internal emails and communications on government-issued phones.

“It’s amazing how these bureaucrats who have an agenda to stop the work that we’re doing to bring safety to America, how they will sell each other down the river if it’s just to protect themselves,” she added.

She ended her interview by suggesting that more leakers are still out there.

“I’m doing everything to find these leakers and get rid of them so that we can do our work and our law enforcement officers and agents can do it safely.”

As the Trump administration ramps up its purge of illegal immigrants across the U.S., officials have had to contend with holdovers from the Biden-Harris administration working within the agencies now headed by some of President Trump’s top allies. Although many have resigned in protest, others continue to delay reform, as exemplified this week when many midlevel managers across the federal government directed their employees to ignore a request by Elon Musk to report on what work they had performed in the past week.
