Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday evening that her agency has identified individuals responsible for leaking internal information, following the unauthorized release of details about an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Los Angeles.

Speaking on Fox News’ Hannity, Noem confirmed that “some” of those responsible had been caught, though she did not specify which agency they were affiliated with or how many individuals had been identified.

“I have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences,” Noem stated.

“And, remember, when they leak information to the press in order to blow an op, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy.”

The investigation stems from a February 7 report by the Los Angeles Times, which cited an internal memo detailing an upcoming “large-scale” ICE raid in the Los Angeles area.

The report, published weeks before the planned operation, raised concerns that the leak could compromise the safety and effectiveness of federal law enforcement efforts.

On February 10, Noem suggested that “corrupt” FBI agents were involved in the leak, a claim echoed by border czar Tom Homan a day later.

The DHS secretary has since taken steps to root out the sources of unauthorized disclosures, including the use of polygraph tests.

“We have used every tactic that we have,” Noem said.

“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.”

Noem emphasized that internal resistance from government employees working against enforcement efforts would not be tolerated.

“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,” she added.

“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.”

During her interview with Sean Hannity, Noem was asked whether leaking such sensitive information constitutes a crime, particularly given the risks it poses to law enforcement officers.

“Absolutely. When they are breaking the law, we are prosecuting and holding them accountable to it,” Noem responded.

“So, you know, we’re not here to play games. This is about America.”

The ICE operation in question is part of the broader immigration enforcement efforts reinstated under President Donald Trump.

Since taking office, Trump has reversed several Biden-Harris administration policies, allowing ICE agents to more aggressively target and detain criminal illegal immigrants, including those convicted of violent crimes.

However, in sanctuary cities like Los Angeles, opposition to the administration’s immigration policies remains high, with activists protesting ICE operations and demanding an end to mass deportations.

Noem reassured law enforcement officers that her department remains committed to their safety and will continue working to prevent operational leaks.

“We honor the work that you do. We will take care of your family. We will take care of you. And we’ll go after those that threaten your lives by leaking this type of information,” Noem stated.

The DHS has not yet disclosed the number of individuals identified in the leak investigation or which agency they belong to.

However, Noem and Homan have both signaled that more individuals could be caught as the probe continues.

“We’re going to keep tracking them down,” Noem warned, reaffirming that her department will take decisive action to prevent further breaches that could endanger federal agents.
