US Homeland Security Employs Lie Detectors to Combat Internal Leaks

Secretary Kristi Noem confirms the use of polygraph tests after confidential information was leaked, endangering police operations.

The US Department of Homeland Security is using lie detector tests to identify employees responsible for leaking sensitive information.
Secretary Kristi Noem stated that leaks jeopardized police operations and endangered officers' lives, leading to criminal charges against two employees.
Noem emphasized her broad authority within the department and her intent to fully utilize these powers to address internal security concerns.
The accused employees face up to 10 years in prison for leaking details about planned police actions.
The department's efforts align with its broader focus under President Trump's administration on immigration enforcement and internal security measures.
