DHS Catches Two Leakers Sabotaging ICE Raids

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has just uncovered two individuals accused of leaking sensitive details about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, specifically targeting enforcement schedules and raid plans. Now, DHS is taking a hard line—referring both individuals to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for prosecution. And if convicted, they could be looking at up to 10 years in federal prison.

Let’s be clear—these leaks aren’t just bureaucratic missteps. They put law enforcement officers at serious risk and let dangerous individuals slip through the cracks. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t mince words when she announced the referrals, stating that these unauthorized disclosures directly jeopardized the lives of agents in the field.

One particularly egregious example? A planned ICE operation in Aurora, Colorado, aimed at rounding up members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Thanks to leaked details, the targets were tipped off and managed to evade capture. That’s not just a minor inconvenience—it’s a direct attack on the ability of law enforcement to do their job and keep communities safe.

Tom Homan (Border Czar) has even accused the FBI of playing a role in these leaks, calling into question the integrity of federal law enforcement agencies. While that allegation remains unproven, it highlights just how deep the distrust runs when it comes to safeguarding operational security. The reality is, someone on the inside had to be feeding information out, and DHS is now conducting internal investigations—including polygraph testing—to root out potential additional leakers.

This crackdown comes at a time when ICE is already under immense pressure to ramp up deportations and meet the Trump administration’s shifting priorities. Just recently, two senior ICE officials were reassigned for not delivering high enough deportation and arrest numbers. The message is clear: The administration wants results, and it won’t tolerate internal sabotage that undercuts enforcement efforts.

But here’s the real kicker—what kind of political games are at play here? Leaking sensitive information like this isn’t just a security breach; it’s an intentional act designed to disrupt immigration enforcement. And let’s not forget, this isn’t the first time leaks have mysteriously benefited those on the wrong side of the law.

DHS and DOJ are making an example of these two individuals, sending a clear warning to anyone else considering leaking classified operational details. If you betray the mission, you will be caught.

For now, we wait to see how DOJ handles these referrals and whether this will finally put an end to the leaks—or if it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
