DHS starts giving lie detector tests to employees to try to find ICE raid leakers: report
The Department of Homeland Security has started giving employees lie detector tests to find out who is leaking details about upcoming immigration raids.
The polygraph tests have been taking place for about three weeks, a DHS spokesperson confirmed to CBS News. It wasn’t immediately clear how many employees had already undergone a polygraph.
President Trump’s DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued an internal directive Feb. 18 ordering staffers to submit to polygraph tests to crack down on those trying to hamper Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation operations, the outlet reported, citing sources.
