Border Chief Homan Says Raid on Tren de Aragua Gang Was Leaked
[Epoch Times] Border czar Tom Homan promised on Feb. 6 to find those responsible for leaking the details of a raid targeting members of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang and hold them accountable.

The Venezuelan gang has become increasingly active in the United States amid a years-long surge in illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. It is one of several high-threat groups the Trump administration has prioritized for deportation.

"This isn’t a game," Homan told reporters outside the White House. "When operations get leaked like that, it puts our officers at great risk."

"We know that TDA is dangerous. Everybody can agree to that," Homan said. "But when they get a heads up that we are coming, it’s only a matter of time before our officers are ambushed. Their job is dangerous enough, so we are going to address this very seriously."

The raid in question took place on Feb. 5 in Colorado. Before approaching the gaggle of reporters, Homan told Fox News that his team had already identified the source of the leak, which is not the first to hinder the border operations.

"Look, I said from day one, we want to be transparent with the American people," he said. "We’ve invited numerous media outlets along, but right now, it’s all about operational security.

"So we may have to stop the media ride-alongs because—I’m not pointing the finger at them—but the less people that know about these operations, the safer it is for our agents."
