Noem orders lie detector tests at DHS to plug leaks

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is already sick and tired of leaks in her department.

This is something that plagues every administration, but Trump has seen more than his fair share as liberal operatives look to hurt the administration from within.

Noem, however, is finally doing something about it.

Get on the Machine

Early in this administration, Border Czar Tom Homan was livid when a massive raid in Colorado that should have netted hundreds of arrests resulted in only one person being arrested.

At the time, Homan stated, “This isn’t a game. We know that TDA is dangerous.

"Everybody can agree to that, but when they get a heads-up that we are coming, it’s only a matter of time before our officers are ambushed.

"Their job is dangerous enough. So we are going to address this very seriously.”

Noem has since ordered staffers to undergo a polygraph test to decide if they will continue to have access to classified information regardless of their security clearance.

Ironically, the memo she sent out on the matter was also leaked to the press, showing the need for her to clamp down from within.

Of course, a former Biden official was there to troll her...

Things are going so well for Kristi Noem at DHS that her memo going after leakers with a polygraph has leaked https://t.co/5wcfesk5eE

I love the idea because, at the very least, it will send a wave of panic among staffers, who could out themselves over their actions.

This was a key point of interest for Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who said she would not tolerate leaks from within the administration.

The government is filled with leftist operators who have been undermining Donald Trump since his first term, and it must be stopped.

And to Tom Homan's point, this goes well beyond just leaking information to the media, as these leaks are particularly damaging and dangerous, putting the lives of agents at risk.

I fully support Noem's quest to find the leaks, seal them, and hopefully make an example of the people who have been leaking information to the media.
