DHS Secretary Noem Says She Discovered Some Officials 'Tipping Off' Illegals About Deportation Plans: 'They Will Be Fired'
US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem (L) and White House
‘border czar’ Tom Homan walk on the grounds of the White House in
Washington, DC, on January 29, 2025.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Fox News‘
“Hannity” program on Monday that she had discovered a number of
officials that were informing illegal aliens about the agency’s
deportation operations—essentially assisting them in their escape or
hiding.
Nevertheless, those “leakers” have now been fired, according to Noem.
Host Sean Hannity: “Do you have an update?… Are we
finding any of the people that are responsible for tipping off these
gang members or cartel members that are in the country illegally and
hence putting ICE officials lives in jeopardy because they lose the
element of surprise? Any update in terms of who’s been tipping them
off?”
DHS Secretary Noem: “Absolutely, Sean. I have found
some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There
will be consequences, and remember, when they leak information to the
press in order to blow one up, they are putting law enforcement lives in
jeopardy. They are risking their lives and putting families in the
position where they have to live without those individuals any further.
So you bet, we have used every tactic that we have. If you remember, we
talked just last week about how I’m using polygraphs to go after and to
really interview these folks. Because we are a national security agency,
I have that tool I can use, also looking at their emails, looking at
their communications, and 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.”
“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.”
Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s border czar, disclosed earlier
this month that another ICE raid in Aurora, Colorado, had been
compromised by a “leak.”
ICE agents were only able to apprehend 30 illegal aliens, including
one member of the Tren de Aragua gang, out of the 100 that the agency
was targeting at that particular time.
Echoing Homan’s assertions, Noem previously expressed that she had
cause to believe that “corrupt” FBI agents had unlawfully disseminated
the details of the planned raids. Earlier this month, Homan also
highlighted that the office of Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove
suggested that it had located the leak’s origin.
Anyone who divulges such sensitive information, information “that
jeopardizes the lives of our great men and women in law enforcement,”
will face consequences — U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned
previously.
Additionally, harboring an illegal alien(s) is a criminal offense in the U.S. It involves knowingly providing shelter, transportation, or other means of concealment to an unauthorized immigrant.
“President Trump and Secretary Noem have sent a clear message to
illegal aliens: Do not come to our country. You will not be allowed in.
And if you get in, we will hunt you down and deport you,” the DHS
announced.
The DHS has not yet provided anymore details on how many leaks have been identified.
Tonight,
I’m announcing a nationwide and international multimillion-dollar ad
campaign warning illegal aliens to leave our country NOW or face
deportation with the inability to return to the US. This serves as a
strong warning to criminal illegal aliens to not come to America. If… pic.twitter.com/VcVgJYfSKR
