Kristi Noem suggests "corrupt" FBI agents leaked ICE raid details

If Donald Trump's administration is going to be able to undo the damage caused to America by Joe Biden's term in office, then we're going to need everyone on the same page and working together.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is accusing America's FBI of not holding up their end of the bargain.

According to the Daily Caller, on February 9, Noem appeared to blame the FBI for leaking plans of a sweeping immigration raid in the Los Angeles Area.

The Los Angeles Times recently published an article stating that they had received an internal government document detailing plans on a purported "large scale" Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) raid in the Los Angeles area.

This is an obvious problem because it gives illegal immigrants and allies of illegal immigrants in the area time to prepare before Donald Trump's federal government can react.

In reaction to the article, Noem said "'corrupt' FBI agents were behind the leak and declared that she would work 'to the fullest extent' to prosecute those responsible."

"The FBI is so corrupt," she posted on social media.

"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."

Noem's allegation against the FBI follows other media leaks of upcoming ICE raids under Donald Trump's administration, giving the targets ample time to evade justice.

Border czar Tom Homan has blamed media leaks for the ICE raids not being as impactful as they could be.

"Operation security is important," Homan said. "That’s why when we go on these operations and the operations got leaked somehow, it makes us less successful."

"When you leak an operation that means more bad guys are not being arrested, which means more bad guys are walking the streets," Homan continued. "I said day one, we want to be transparent to the American people. We’ve invited numerous media outlets along, but right now it’s all about Op-Sec, operation security. So, we may have to stop the media ride-alongs, because I’m not pointing the finger at them, but the less people that know about these operations, the safer this for our agents."
