Tom Homan links ICE raid leaks to FBI, criminal probe underway

Tom Homan, former director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has raised concerns that recent leaks about ICE raids are likely coming from the FBI, suggesting that these leaks endanger the lives of officers involved in operations. During a Fox News interview, Homan stated that ongoing investigations have indicated that information about a large-scale operation targeting illegal immigrants may have been leaked to the media, allowing potential suspects to evade capture. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem echoed these concerns, condemning the FBI's role in the leaks and committing to prosecuting those responsible. Homan emphasized that those leaking sensitive information could face severe consequences, including job loss and imprisonment. The leaked information reportedly pertains to an operation targeting individuals with outstanding deportation orders and criminal backgrounds. The controversy highlights tensions between immigration enforcement agencies and the FBI amidst ongoing immigration debates.
