Trump Border Czar Vows Jail Time for FBI Leakers
President Trumpโs border czar Tom Homan has accused theย FBIย of leaking information about upcoming raids targeting illegal immigrantsโand threatened to jail those responsible.
โWe think itโs coming from inside,โ he said, speaking toย Sean Hannityย on Fox News on Tuesday, referring to leaks to the media aboutย recent ICEย raids in Colorado.
Homan also blamed the FBI for leaked information about a large,ย upcoming raid in Californiaย thatโs expected to happen before the end of the month, saying, โsome of the information we are receiving tends towards the FBI.โ
That raid is reported to be so large that FBI andย DEAย officers are being called in to support ICE officers.
Homan said it was โonly a matter of timeโ before officers were harmed by the leaks, saying it was possible that โbad guysโ could be sitting in wait for the officers to show up and ambush them.
Hannity asked Homan how certain he was that the FBI is involved, who replied, โI talked to the deputy attorney general this week and theyโve opened up a criminal investigation. He thinks the information is coming from [the FBI].โ
Criminal investigations are taking place to try and identify those responsible for leaking information about the raids, he said.
โWeโll let that investigation play out,โ he said, adding, โBut some of the leads point that way.โ
If the leakers are caught, Homan threatened that โnot only will this person lose their job [and] they will lose their pension, they will go to jail, theyโre going to criminally prosecute,โ he said.
Trump came to powerย with the promiseย to carry out the โlargest deportation operation in American history,โ but so far the raids appear to have had varying levels of effectiveness.
Raids in Chicago involved 400 agents knocking on hundreds of doors, leading toย only one arrestย of a member of the Venezualan Tren de Aragua gang.
