Criminal leakers identified within DHS – will be referred to DOJ

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has uncovered the identities of two snitches who leaked details about the administration’s immigration raids to the public.

“We have identified two leakers of information here at the Department of Homeland Security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced in a video Friday.

“We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they’ve done. We’re going to continue to do all that we can to keep America safe,” she added.

Listen:

We have identified criminal leakers within @DHSgov and are preparing to refer these perpetrators to the @TheJusticeDept for felony prosecutions.

These individuals face up to 10 years in federal prison.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin meanwhile told Fox News that the two snitches will soon be facing charges.

“We are preparing to refer these perpetrators to the DOJ for felony prosecutions,” she said. “These individuals face up to 10 years in federal prison. We will find and root out all leakers. They will face prison time, and we will get justice for the American people.”

The latest leak occurred earlier this week, when the editor of an outlet known as Migrant Insider published details about upcoming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in North Virginia.

A Twitter/X account labeled the “Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid” also shared details about the upcoming raids, in addition to instructions on how to behave if caught.

Look:

SPREAD THE WORD
Starting Monday 3/March, ICE activity expected in Northern VA (Arlington, Alexandria, Annandale, Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun) & surrounding areas that could result in several arrests. Please be aware of your surroundings, tell your friends/family too.

The leaks angered ICE, with one official reportedly telling Fox News that they feared the leaks could lead to an ICE agent being hurt or even killed.

Attorney General Pam Bondi shared similar concerns.

“If anyone leaks anything, people don’t understand that it jeopardizes the lives of our great men and women in law enforcement,” she said.

But speaking with the network, Migrant Insider editor Pablo Manríquez suggested that this concern isn’t legitimate.

“We break immigration news all the time. We follow this topic very closely and haven’t seen any reports of ICE being harmed,” he said.

Noem also took exception to the leaks, though she vowed in a Twitter/X post that DHS would “not be deterred” from its work.

Look:

We will not be deterred by leaks. If you come to this country and break our laws, we will hunt you down.

The catching of the two leakers isn’t the only good news of the day. So is this: A federal judge has struck down an attempt by a Colorado school district to block ICE officials from entering school grounds.

“A federal judge on Friday ruled that a Denver Public Schools request to block federal immigration agents from making arrests at places like schools was not appropriate, handing the Trump administration a victory as it ramps up mass deportations nationwide,” Denver station KMGH reported.

Denver Public Schools (DPS) had requested a preliminary injunction  against DHS and Noem on the grounds that their raids were hindering the school’s work by preventing them from educating students who were remaining home “for fear of immigration enforcement actions occurring on DPS school grounds.”

Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, both Democrats, have reportedly introduced legislation to block ICE from scouring so-called “protected” areas such as schools, churches, and hospitals.

Meanwhile, DPS, the school district, is being investigated by the Trump administration for installing an all-gender multi-stall restroom.
