Border Czar Tom Homan says information indicates the FBI may have leaked details of an immigration enforcement operation to the media, thereby “putting officers at risk.”

He says the U.S. Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into the matter and may criminally prosecute the responsible individuals.

“[The Attorney General’s office] has promised not only will this person lose their job and pension, but they will go to jail,” said Homan in a televised interview Monday on Fox, where he also noted the possibility of an “ambush” due to the leaking of operational details

On Monday, the Los Angeles Times published a report on a pending immigration enforcement operation in the city after receiving leaked information. Last week, Bill Melugin shared that a planned operation in Aurora, Colorado, where Venezuelan gangs had taken over apartment buildings, came up short after information of the operation was leaked.

The Los Angeles raid, to take place later this month, would be conducted without local assistance, as California and the city are sanctuary zones that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities except in the case of violent or serious felonies.

This is in contrast to the state of New York and city of New York, whose governor and mayor respectively have both said they are willing to cooperate with immigration enforcement in many cases.
