Immigration Tsar Tom Homan spoke with Fox News host Sean Hannity on February 10, 2025, about suspected intelligence leaks from the FBI. Hannity began the segment by asking if Homan knew where the leak started. Tom Homan replied that all signs point to the FBI and these leakers would face a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation.
Social media users were incensed by the apparent treason when the interview clip was posted to X. Many accounts advocated for harsh punishments and public tribunals for the leakers who put the security of ICE raids at risk. Others said this lack of transparency was behind the desperate fight to prevent Kash Patel from being confirmed as the FBI head.
Sean Hannity, a longtime conservative stalwart, started the clip by asking the Immigration Tsar if he was sure of the source of the leaks. Homan confirmed that his sources pointed to the FBI as the culprit. Hannity said, “So early indications are this is coming from our own FBI. How certain are you of that [and] information leading to that?”
Homan replied by deferring to the DOJ. He said, “Again, I’ll let the Department of Justice do their own investigation. But again, I talked to the Deputy Attorney General this week, and they’ve opened up a criminal investigation. He thinks the information is coming from there, also. So we’ll let the investigation investigation play out, but some of the leads point that way.”
The clip of the incident was posted to X by Libs of TikTok. In the post’s caption, she said, “SEAN HANNITY: How certain are you that the ICE raid leaks are coming from the FBI? TOM HOMAN: The Deputy Attorney General believes the leaks are coming from the FBI and he opened a criminal investigation.HOLY CRAP. TREASON.”
The general public was sure it was treason. Another user said, “Treason indeed, it’s appalling to see the FBI potentially leaking sensitive info on ICE raids, putting lives at risk and undermining national security. The Deputy Attorney General is right to open a criminal investigation, we need to get to the bottom of this and hold those responsible accountable. Kash Patel will clean up the FBI and put an end to these leaks, Trump’s administration is taking action to protect America.”

Prominent conservative influencer Paul A. Szypula confirmed his diagnosis. He said, “The leaks are treason. They need to be punishable by life in prison. This kind of attack on our ICE officers from our own government officials needs to be met with swift and severe legal punishment.” One comment added, “I totally agree. This can not be allowed to stand.” Other users were more smug. One triumphantly added, “I love how the deep state thinks Trump and Co are fooling around It’s so cute.”
Some commented that this could be connected to the contentious confirmation hearing for Kash Patel. A reply noted, “This is exactly why they’re trying their best to stop Kash from becoming the director of the FBI. It’s also why they delayed his confirmation hearing like they did.” Another comment stated, “Time to start making mass arrest. This is never going to stop until there’s accountability taken.” A user said, “I’m not surprised unfortunately. They’ll be found though, and hopefully publicly paraded so that we know who they are and their families know he/she is a traitor!”
