DHS in Feb said it would begin polygraphing employees to curb media leaks.
Washington, DC:
Amid US President Donald Trump's massive crackdown on illegal immigration, his administration is reportedly doing polygraph tests of its own personnel to find moles who might have leaked information to the media about the raids on migrants. The polygraph tests have been underway for about three weeks, CBS News reported quoting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.
It still remains unclear how many employees have been tested so far, but in a social media post on Friday, Noem said DHS has identified two leakers of information, who will be prosecuted for putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy.
"We have identified criminal leakers within @DHSgov and are preparing to refer these perpetrators to the @TheJusticeDept for felony prosecutions. These individuals face up to 10 years in federal prison. We will find and root out all leakers. They will face prison time & we will get justice for the American people," she wrote along with a video posted on X.
