A high-ranking immigration official committed an unforgivable betrayal of his personnel and is paying the price.
As Fox News reported , the Department of Homeland Security announced they had fired a senior Customs and Border Protection official on Thursday for leaking sensitive, personal information about CBP personnel to the corporate media.
The CBP official also allegedly leaked details of negotiations over the border wall to the press.
A DHS spokesperson called the official’s conduct “abhorrently dangerous” during an interview with Fox News.
“As DHS law enforcement faces an 8000% increase in death threats, leaking law enforcement sensitive information is abhorrently dangerous,” the spokesperson told the outlet. “DHS is agnostic about your standing, tenure, political appointment, or status as a career civil servant — we will track down leakers and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.”
The official, who has not been named, was marched out of his CBP office in Washington, D.C.
This disturbing news comes as ICE and CBP officers have been doxxed by at least 13 database systems that store data, including Signal.
