DHS Secretary Kristi Noem will begin giving polygraph tests at DHS to find leakers who put ICE agents in harms way, according to Mediaite and Bloomberg.

This comes after leaks prevented the arrests of Tren de Aragua members by ICE and other agencies in Colorado earlier this month, causing these gang members to flee before the raid occurred.

Here’s more:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told employees under her leadership they will be soon subject to polygraph tests asking about whether or not they have leaked to the media, reported Bloomberg News on Tuesday.

Bloomberg’s Homeland Security reporter Ellen Gilmer scooped the news and reported that “Noem last week issued an internal directive that all polygraphs the Department of Homeland Security administers must include a question about unauthorized communications with media and nonprofit organizations, according to a memo described to Bloomberg Government by two people without authorization to speak publicly.”

Noem’s polygraph push followed her claim of the “deleterious effects” of leaks on ICE enforcement. Gilmer reported that Noem said, “DHS components that have polygraph programs may use them to assess whether personnel can have initial or continued access to classified information and whether they’re eligible to hold a sensitive position.”

I’d much rather see Noem doing this than putting out commercials to potential illegals. This must be done to keep our officers safe and is of paramount importance.

Good job Kristi and I hope you find them all.
