President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has revealed the FBI are believed to be behind recent leaks about upcoming ICE raids targeting illegal immigrants.
Details of a large scale raid scheduled in Los Angeles were leaked to the media, citing an internal government document on Monday.
Homan claimed the information authorities had received so far ‘tends to lead toward the FBI’ in a shocking admission on Hannity.
He said anyone who leaks sensitive information about raids and target locations risks the lives of officers on the front lines.
‘It’s just not giving the bad guys a heads up… you’re putting officers lives at risk,’ he said.
‘It’s only a matter of time before there’s going to be a bad guy who doesn’t care, who is going to be sitting in wait for the officers to show up and ambush them.’
Homan revealed the Deputy Attorney General has launched a criminal investigation into the leak and has vowed to prosecute them.
‘They’ve promised not only will this person lose their job, their pension… they’ll go to jail,’ he said.

It is no secret that ICE agents have been targeting major sanctuary cities from the moment President Trump returned to the White House
He said these authorities also believe the leak has come from within the FBI.
‘This is not a game,’ he warned.
FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration officers and agents had been called in to assist with the upcoming raid, reportedly scheduled to take place by the end of February.
It was supposed to target foreigners without legal status to remain in the United States, as well as anyone with pending orders of removal.
Authorities were requesting unprecedented multi-agency collaboration in order to achieve the targets.
It is now unclear if the raids will still go ahead.
Trump‘s Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was livid after the leaks and immediately went on the attack.
‘The FBI is so corrupt,’ Noem wrote on social media on Monday. ‘We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law.’

It is no secret that ICE agents have been targeting major sanctuary cities from the moment President Trump returned to the White House.
Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta have all been the location of raids in recent weeks, and President Trump lifted longtime guidelines preventing ICE agents from operating in ‘sensitive locations’ like schools, churches and hospitals.
Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration laws and deport illegal immigrants have drawn thousands of protestors to Los Angeles in recent days.
Protesters have caused traffic gridlock in the city as they have targeted major freeways while waving Mexican flags and those of other Latin American countries.
A 17-year-old boy was stabbed during a protest on Friday, and currently remains in hospital in critical condition.
