A high-ranking immigration official committed an unforgivable betrayal of his personnel and is paying the price.
As Fox News reported , the Department of Homeland Security announced they had fired a senior Customs and Border Protection official on Thursday for leaking sensitive, personal information about CBP personnel to the corporate media.
The CBP official also allegedly leaked details of negotiations over the border wall to the press.
A DHS spokesperson called the official’s conduct “abhorrently dangerous” during an interview with Fox News.
“As DHS law enforcement faces an 8000% increase in death threats, leaking law enforcement sensitive information is abhorrently dangerous,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “DHS is agnostic about your standing, tenure, political appointment, or status as a career civil servant — we will track down leakers and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.”
The official, who has not been named, was marched out of his CBP office in Washington, D.C.
This disturbing news comes as ICE and CBP officers have been doxxed by at least 13 database systems that store data, including Signal.
Fox News notes that this includes personal information, photographs, uniform details, behavior patterns, and phone numbers.
As TGP’s Cassandra MacDonald reported, one Signal group chat has exposed deep ties between Democrat officials, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and radical anti-ICE activists in Minneapolis.
The private messaging group, called “MN ICE Watch,” has allegedly been used to coordinate protests, issue marching orders, and even dox federal ICE agents during the ongoing protests and riots in Minneapolis.
The group has also created a database of license plates for vehicles used by ICE agents, and people can call in to check plates in the database.
FBI director Kash Patel has announced that his department is investigating these messaging chats.
The doxxing is not just limited to chat groups, either. Last month, a Minnesota reporter assisted in the doxxing of an ICE agent who killed leftist activist Renee Good in self-defense. The agent is now in hiding.
It is certainly possible that the fired CBP official participated in the doxxing of this agent.
Hopefully, we will find out more answers soon.
