DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Says She Has Identified ICE Leakers and Is Preparing to Drop the Hammer
During a recent interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi noem announced that her agency has discovered individuals leaking data about Immigration and Customs enforcement (ICE) raids, which has jeopardized law enforcement operations. Noem stated that these leakers would face termination and potential prosecution for their actions, which she described as detrimental to the safety of law enforcement personnel. She indicated that the leaks have allowed some criminal elements, including members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, to evade capture during recent operations.
Noem asserted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is employing various tactics, such as polygraphs, to investigate the leaks and hold those responsible accountable. Additionally, she raised concerns about the potential involvement of agents from the FBI in these leaks, asserting that the FBI is “corrupt” and that her department will work with various agencies to stop the leaks and prosecute offenders. Border czar Tom Homan supported Noem’s claims, confirming that early indications suggest some of the leaks originate within the FBI.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reported Monday that her agency has identified people who have been leaking the times and locations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.
“I have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences,” Noem told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“When they leak information to the press in order to blow an op, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” she added.
Fox News reported earlier this month that leaks allowed Venezuelan gang members from Tren de Aragua to evade federal agents in Aurora, Colorado, with only 30 people in custody from a raid.
Additionally, leaked documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times detailed a “large scale” ICE enforcement action coming to the area.
Noem stated that HHS is using “every tactic that we have” to track down the leakers, including polygraphs and looking at s and other communications.

“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,” Noem said.
Noem assured Hannity’s viewers, “So don’t worry, I am doing everything to find these leakers and to get rid of them, so that we can do our work and our law enforcement officers and agents can do it safely.”
Hannity wondered if the leakers would be prosecuted, and Noem replied they would.
“When they are breaking the law, we are prosecuting and holding them accountable to it. We’re not here to play games. This is about America,” she said.
Earlier this month, Noem indicated in a post on X that some of the leakers may be working in the FBI.
“The FBI is so corrupt. We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law,” she wrote.
The LA Times story Noem included in her post cited an unnamed source who told the news outlet that both FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration agents would be supporting ICE in raids in the LA area.

Border czar Tom Homan backed up Noem’s claim that at least some leakers are within the FBI.
“So early indications are this is coming from our own FBI. How certain are you of that?” Hannity asked him.
