The Need to Investigate Public Disclosures of Confidential Immigration Information by ICE

The Denver Post raises something that the DHS Secretary might look at besides longer border fences, more enforcement, more enforcement, more enforcement.  “An internal investigation has determined that a supervisor in Denver’s immigration enforcement office `gave false testimony’ during the trial of an agent charged with unlawfully accessing a federal criminal database and releasing information to Bob Beauprez’s gubernatorial campaign.”

This is part of a larger problem with public disclosure of confidential information for political ends within ICE.  Recall that a “federal law enforcement official” disclosed information about the asylum case of President Obama’s aunt on the weekend before the election last November.  By the way, whatever came of the investigation of that leak?
