White House Condemns DHS Breach Exposing 41,000 Employees as DOJ Investigates Risks to ICE Agents

Summary
More than 41,000 DHS employees and contractors were exposed after a hacktivist group published a searchable database that included border and undercover agents.
Tom Homan said the breach could put officers and their families at greater risk, arguing threats and attacks on ICE personnel have risen sharply since Trump began his second term.
The group said it released the data to demand more oversight of DHS, which has faced backlash during Trump's immigration enforcement crackdown.
The Justice Department is now investigating the breach as the White House frames the leak as a public-safety threat, not just a protest action.
