DHS Chief Kristi Noem said her investigators have identified two leakers within the Department of Homeland Security and are preparing to refer them to the Justice Department for felony prosecutions.
“These individuals face up to 10 years in federal prison,” Noem said.
“We will find and root out all leakers. They will face prison time and we will get justice for the American people,” Noem warned.

Earlier this week, Kristi Noem said she would not be deterred by leaks after Vanity Fair Congressional reporter Pablo Manriquez tweeted out a warning about the imminent raids in Virginia.
It is unclear if the two individuals caught leaking are related to Pablo Manriquez’s knowledge of the raids.
TGP’s Kristinn Taylor reported earlier this week on Pablo Manriquez’s tweets:
“ICE RAIDS are planned for Monday & Tuesday in Northern Virginia, per multiple sources who tell us ICE has obtained between 75 and 100 judicial warrants.”
“NOTE: Judicial warrants mean ICE can go into your homes, so plan accordingly.”
“NOTE: Remember that state police have been deputized to help ICE, so highways, etc, are unsafe.”
“We will not be deterred by leaks. If you come to this country and break our laws, we will hunt you down. Successful enforcement operation this morning—getting MS-13 members, 18th Street gang members and perpetrators of sexual crimes off our streets.”

Noem was not deterred. She said the raids in Virginia were successful.
Northern Virginia is safer this morning after a successful operation getting criminal aliens and gang members off our streets.
Thank you to our brave enforcement officers. pic.twitter.com/UYRkwLPHTO
