DHS Identifies Two 'Criminal Leakers' Accused of Compromising ICE Operations

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announces plans to refer the alleged leakers for felony prosecution, citing risks to law enforcement and public safety.

Two individuals within the Department of Homeland Security have been identified as alleged leakers of sensitive information about ICE operations, according to Secretary Kristi Noem.
The leaks reportedly jeopardized law enforcement officers' safety and allowed targeted individuals, including gang members, to evade capture during immigration raids.
Noem stated that the department will refer the accused leakers to the Department of Justice for felony prosecution, with potential penalties of up to 10 years in federal prison.
The leaks are part of broader challenges faced by the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts, including ongoing resistance within federal agencies.
DHS has emphasized its commitment to rooting out leaks and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of its operations moving forward.
