The Department of Homeland Security has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to determine who might be leaking information to the media about immigration operations, according to four sources familiar with the practice. The department’s plans to perform these tests was first reported by Bloomberg Government.

A spokesperson for DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have blamed lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks revealing the cities where it planned to conduct operations.

In a video posted on X Friday, Noem said, “We have identified two leakers of information here at the Department of Homeland Security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy. We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they’ve done.”

LOL.....This might turn into trying to find any employees who don't leak.

While I know that polys are BS, I support them being used as a tool to track down leakers. Not so much because they will catch the culprit in a lie, but because somebody they work with will probably say "you should check out so and so because of x,y,z".

They should use phrenology; it is just as affective as a lie detector.

They need to purge the anti Americans working there.

J6 never put any law enforcement in jeopardy.

God forbid the public learns what the government is doing

So you approve of leaks to violent gangs to tell them when ICE and the Marshals are showing up?

So you support the cuts from all the waste, fraud and abuse being exposed.

You will be full fledged MAGA in no time.

They are talking about leaks on active operations, even if the press gets it, it puts agents at risk.

 

[AyeCantSeeYou]

Almost makes me wonder if the idiots giving out the raid info are getting paid on the side to do so.

And how about the standards of the press? Working against Americans with their platforms…shameful.

Like it or not the press has protections. Go for the leakers.

Thing is they're really not "the press"... More like activists with a tv station.

Still the press, and still protected.

Leakers are a far easier target.

We can do both....Not "go after" per se, but make sure they are outed.

Can't you scan all emails held by a mobile simply through hand held data grabbing equipment ?
Like another, perhaps special, mobile ?

Or, are we still pretending that this is not done, or cannot be done ?
