Federal employees whose identities remain undisclosed have undermined several deportation operations over the past month by leaking information about these raids to the public. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on Monday that the individuals responsible for the leaks have been identified and will face termination. “I have identified a few leakers,” Noem stated during an interview. “We are still receiving additional information.” She emphasized, “They will be dismissed,” and warned that there will be consequences.
Noem highlighted the serious implications of such leaks, stating, “When they disclose information to the media to sabotage operations, they are endangering the lives of law enforcement personnel and putting their own lives at risk.” She elaborated that her team has been investigating and interviewing anyone who may have had access to the leaked information in their efforts to identify the leakers. They have employed various methods, including polygraph tests and thorough examinations of emails and other electronic communications.
