Former ICE Director Tom Homan, acting as President Trump's border advisor, announced an ongoing investigation into a leak that compromised a recent ICE operation in Aurora, Colorado. The leaked information reportedly warned members of the violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, allowing them to escape before authorities arrived. While approximately 30 individuals were apprehended, the operation's effectiveness was significantly diminished.

Homan, speaking on "Hannity," expressed confidence in identifying the source of the leak, believing it originated from within. He stressed the severity of such leaks, highlighting not only the operational setbacks but also the potential danger to law enforcement officers. The risk of ambushes and potential loss of life are serious concerns.

This incident follows another reported leak regarding a planned ICE raid in Los Angeles, targeting individuals with pending removal orders and those lacking legal status. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem publicly attributed this leak to corruption within the FBI, promising to collaborate with other agencies to prosecute those responsible.

Homan indicated that preliminary findings point towards FBI involvement and assured that those responsible would face severe consequences, including potential jail time. Attorney General Pam Bondi reinforced this message, emphasizing the life-threatening implications of such leaks for law enforcement personnel.

The Trump administration has intensified efforts to deport criminal migrants and expanded interagency collaborations, including utilizing the Federal Bureau of Prisons to house detainees and transferring some to Guantánamo Bay. Despite these challenges, Homan affirmed the administration's unwavering commitment to apprehending individuals residing in sanctuary cities, promising increased manpower and targeting workplaces if necessary.
