Tom Homan, Trump’s Border Czar, isn’t holding back—he’s ready to lock up FBI agents he says are leaking details about ICE raids targeting illegal immigrants. Speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday, Homan pointed the finger squarely at the FBI for spilling plans about a massive upcoming operation in California and a recent one in Colorado. He’s not guessing either; he’s got the deputy attorney general digging into it with a full-on criminal probe.
Leaks Put ICE Agents in the Crosshairs
Homan’s been crystal clear about what’s at stake. He told Hannity these leaks aren’t just annoying—they’re dangerous. The Colorado raid in Aurora got compromised, and he’s convinced someone inside, likely FBI, tipped off the media. Then there’s this big California operation still on deck, where FBI and DEA agents are supposed to back up ICE. Homan’s worried the “bad guys” are getting a heads-up, setting traps for officers who are already walking into risky situations.
“This is not a game,” he said last week on Harris Faulkner’s show. He’s mad—rightfully so—and he’s promising action. ICE is teaming up with the Department of Justice to nail down who’s responsible. If they catch the leakers, Homan says it’s not just a pink slip—they’re losing pensions and facing jail. That’s how serious he’s taking it.
Picture this: you’re a cop heading into a bust, and someone’s already told the crooks you’re coming. That’s the reality ICE agents are facing. Homan’s not wrong—leaks like these could get people hurt, or worse.
FBI Under Fire and Democrats Stirring the Pot
So where’s this pointing? Homan’s got leads suggesting the FBI’s the culprit. He told Hannity he’s talked to the deputy AG, who’s running the investigation, and the trail keeps circling back to the Bureau. “We’ll let it play out,” Homan said, but he’s not sitting on his hands. He’s already figured out how the Aurora leak happened and dealt with it, though he didn’t spill the details.
Meanwhile, some Democrats aren’t helping. New York Rep. Dan Goldman’s out there on X, posting videos telling folks how to dodge ICE—like it’s a public service announcement. He’s throwing out tips on making “plans for ICE encounters” and hooking people up with free lawyers if they get nabbed. His team’s claiming Trump’s out to detain citizens and legal residents, which ICE flat-out denies. Their spokesperson told The Caller they only hold folks briefly to check IDs—citizens don’t get arrested.
Goldman’s not alone either. Other Dems are jumping in, and Republicans like North Carolina Rep. Mark Harris are livid. Harris told The Caller it’s “disgraceful” they’re coaching illegal immigrants to evade the law. It’s a bold move, especially since Homan’s citing federal statutes—felonies, no less—for anyone hiding or obstructing ICE. Democrats might think they’re clever, but they’re playing with fire.
I’ve got a friend who’s a sheriff’s deputy. He says if someone tipped off a suspect before a raid, it’d be a career-ender—and probably a cell. Same principle applies here, but it’s the FBI and elected officials in the mix. That’s a whole different level of messy.
Our Take
This is a train wreck for the American public, and it’s on the conservatives’ radar for good reason. Homan’s right to go hard—if FBI agents are leaking ICE plans, they’re not just breaking trust; they’re putting lives at risk and letting illegals slip through the cracks. That’s bad enough, but then you’ve got Democrats like Goldman handing out cheat sheets to dodge deportation. It’s a one-two punch that screws over law-abiding citizens.
Trump’s agenda is about securing the border—Homan’s his guy to make it happen. But when federal agents and lawmakers sabotage that, it’s not just politics; it’s a safety issue. Leaks mean raids fail, officers get ambushed, and illegal immigrants stay put instead of getting sent back. Add in Goldman’s antics, and you’ve got a system where the rule of law takes a backseat to partisan games. The public’s left footing the bill—higher crime, stretched resources, and a government that can’t do its job.
Conservatism’s about order and accountability, not coddling lawbreakers or letting bureaucrats run rogue. If Homan can’t trust the FBI and Congress keeps meddling, we’re stuck with a border that’s more sieve than wall. That’s not what people voted for, and it’s why this mess matters.
