The DOJ – U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed on Wednesday to prosecute any FBI agents, or other members of the government, who leak information on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.
White House Border Czar Tom Homan suggested on Monday that someone within the FBI may be leaking information on the raids, potentially putting officers’ lives at risk. The Daily Caller asked Bondi at her first press conference what the consequences would be for those within the FBI if they were ultimately caught leaking information about the raids.

“Has the DOJ gotten any closer to determining if these leaks are coming from within the FBI? And what will the consequences be if they can identify the leakers from the FBI?” the Daily Caller asked.
“The great men and women in law enforcement standing behind me today, they deserve, they must be protected, and anytime anyone leaks or tips off anything regarding a pending investigation that jeopardizes lives. You’re telling a bad guy what’s about to happen. It could jeopardize the lives of all the men and women in law enforcement,” Bondi began.
“We will not stand for it. We will find you. We’re going to investigate it, no matter what agency it came from. We don’t know for certain. We have an open investigation, so I can’t talk about it in detail, but we will do everything in our power to hold you accountable and it is a crime, and you will be prosecuted when we find you,” she finished.

The most recent leak was reported by the Los Angeles Times, who obtained a document about ICE’s plans to target the city next with “large scale” action. Homan told Fox News host Sean Hannity that they believe the leaks are coming from inside the administration and that in addition to jail time, anyone convicted of leaking such information will lose their jobs or their pensions.
Because of another leak, members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua were allegedly able to avoid apprehension by ICE agents because of the leaked information, according to a Fox News report.
The FBI is so corrupt. 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. https://t.co/HNW1ujf0Gd

“It’s only a matter of time before we walk into a place where there’s going to be a bad guy who doesn’t care. He’s going to be sitting and waiting for the officers to show up and ambush them. This is not a game,” Homan told Hannity.
At her first press conference, Bondi also announced that the Department of Justice is filing a lawsuit against New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James for allegedly failing to enforce immigration laws.
“We sued Illinois, and New York didn’t listen, so now, you’re next,” Bondi said.
