A senior official from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was fired for leaking sensitive personal information to the media, which has raised serious concerns about safety and security within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
• The DHS announced the dismissal of the unnamed CBP official for leaking personal information of CBP staff and details about border wall negotiations to corporate media.
• A DHS representative described the leaks as "abhorrently dangerous," especially considering the significant increase in death threats against DHS personnel (an 8000% rise).
• The official was escorted out of their office in Washington, D. C.
• Concerns are mounting as there have been incidents of doxxing—where personal information of ICE and CBP agents is publicly disclosed. At least 13 data systems were reported to have stored such sensitive information.
• The report highlights the connections between Democrat officials and activists who oppose ICE, revealing a group chat that allegedly coordinates protests and shares information about ICE agents.
• Investigations are ongoing by the FBI into these messaging chats and incidents, including the doxxing of an ICE agent involved in a self-defense shooting.
This incident reflects serious issues surrounding the security of law enforcement personnel and raises questions about the integrity of government officials. Ongoing investigations may provide more clarity on the extent of the leaks and connections to activist groups.
