Border czar Tom Homan has issued a stark warning to anyone leaking sensitive information about upcoming ICE operations, claiming that those responsible—if found—will face jail time, lose their jobs and pensions, and be subject to criminal prosecution. In a fiery statement on Fox News, Homan pointed to leaks implicating FBI involvement as particularly egregious, suggesting that internal sources have compromised crucial intelligence on major ICE raids.
During an appearance on Fox News, Homan accused the FBI of leaking details about a large-scale raid slated for California later this month. “We think it’s coming from inside,” he said, referring to the confidential information regarding ICE operations in Colorado that recently appeared in media reports. The leaked information, Homan explained, has already jeopardized the safety of ICE agents on the ground by potentially alerting criminals about impending raids.
In a pointed exchange with host Sean Hannity, Homan made it clear that he believes these leaks are not isolated incidents. “Some of the information we are receiving tends to point toward the FBI,” he stated. He also mentioned that he had spoken with the deputy attorney general, who confirmed that a criminal investigation has been opened. “They’re looking into whether the leaks constitute a felony under federal law,” Homan added. “If the investigation confirms that someone is deliberately sabotaging our operations, that person will lose not only their job but also their pension. They will go to jail.”
Homan expressed particular frustration over a recent leak concerning an ICE raid in Aurora, Colorado. The operation was so significant that FBI and DEA agents were being dispatched to assist ICE personnel. “These leaks put our officers at risk, because bad actors might use this information to set them up,” Homan explained. “This is not a game. When crucial details of a raid are exposed, it jeopardizes lives.”
