DHS Implements Polygraph Tests to Identify Immigration Raid Leakers

Two DHS employees have been identified for allegedly leaking sensitive information as the Trump administration intensifies its immigration enforcement efforts.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been conducting polygraph tests for three weeks to identify employees leaking information about immigration raids to the media.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that two employees have been identified as leakers and will face felony charges, potentially carrying up to 10 years in prison.
The Trump administration has ramped up immigration enforcement since January, with over 50,000 undocumented immigrants deported, including 20,000 in February alone.
The administration has rescinded Biden-era restrictions on immigration arrests near sensitive locations, a move currently facing legal challenges.
Federal agencies, including the DEA and ATF, are supporting immigration enforcement, while ICE continues nationwide raids targeting undocumented individuals, particularly those with criminal backgrounds.
