Part 3/7:
Former ICE Director has been vocally critical of the situation, characterizing the leaks as part of a "deep state" effort to hinder law enforcement's capacity to manage immigration and uphold public safety. He articulated that not only do such actions jeopardize the safety of ICE agents, but they also threaten national security by allowing individuals illegally residing in the country to evade arrest.
The administration is reportedly prepared to take strong measures against leakers, with Secretary Noem hinting at the possibility of using polygraph tests to identify individuals who have compromised enforcement operations. This proactive approach underscores the increasing frustration within the DHS over the ongoing challenges posed by activists and their influence on immigration policy.
