Border Czar Tom Homan says he will seek legal action against activists who posted the names and home addresses of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents operating in Southern California.
The activists made Spanish-language flyers with personal information about ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers.
The flyers state, “CAREFUL WITH THESE FACES,” according to a rough translation.
Speaking to Fox & Friends on Wednesday, Homan said the activists “crossed the line” and that he will pursue action from the Department of Justice.
“Look, I think they crossed the line,” Homan said. “They started posting pictures and addresses and phone numbers. I got state troopers around my house 24-7 right now because of death threats. And I know what it’s like to be doxxed, though. These agents don’t deserve that.”
Homan continued, “These agents put a gun on their hip and wear a Kevlar vest every day, trying to make their communities safer. We’ve been really clear: we’re focusing on the worst of the worst. We’re focused on criminal threats and national security threats. So I got a meeting with the Department of Justice today and what we can do about this.”
“I think it crossed the line of impeding a federal law enforcement officer in the performance of their duties. So I’m hoping we find out who these people are, and we can criminally prosecute them,” Homan added.
A Los Angeles FBI spokesperson confirmed to Fox News that activists interfering with law enforcement operations could face criminal prosecution.
“The FBI safeguards Constitutionally-protected rights, including freedom of speech and assembly. However, any individual who impedes law enforcement operations, potentially threatening the safety of law enforcement agents and subjects of their investigations, is subject to investigation and potential prosecution by the Department of Justice,” the spokesperson said.
