A recent whistleblower revelation suggests that senior FBI officials may be deliberately undermining President Trump's mass deportation initiative. The allegations, brought to light by FBI agent Steve Friend, indicate that a network of "certain rogue agents" within the Bureau are evading participation in critical deportation assignments for political reasons. The claims were highlighted by War Room correspondent Natalie Winters during her discussion with host Steve Bannon.
According to Winters, the obstruction is particularly pronounced among agents at the supervisor and management level, who are actively resisting the administration's immigration enforcement priorities. These officials, including those in positions such as Squad Supervisor or Field Office Special Agent in Charge, are said to have instituted a policy that permits subordinates to abstain from deportation operations that conflict with their personal or political convictions.
The situation has reportedly escalated to the point where left-leaning FBI managers are likening immigration enforcement to historical Nazi operations. This comparison has allegedly been used to dissuade agents from engaging in lawful actions against illegal immigrants. Winters' bombshell report also notes at least two documented instances where such Nazi parallels were employed to discourage raid participation.
Further complicating the scenario is the creation of "city-by-city justification" systems, which provide agents with additional leeway to bypass lower-profile operations. The resistance became starkly apparent during a visit by Deputy Director Dan Bongino to the FBI's Phoenix office. Winters reported that upon Bongino's arrival for a scheduled immigration raid with ICE, FBI supervisors halted all deportation raid activities to convene a meeting with him, leaving the planned operation in limbo.
One of the most concerning reports involves FBI supervisors allegedly abandoning their ICE colleagues during active operations. In one such case, a supervisor's text response to inquiries about FBI support for an imminent ICE raid was a blunt "no, we're actually not," leaving ICE without the expected FBI assistance.
This internal pushback poses a significant challenge to Director Patel, who has been charged with reforming an FBI culture that traditionally enjoyed a high degree of autonomy from executive oversight. The controversy follows the heated 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid, an event that has intensified President Trump's resolve to reorganize the Bureau.
The accusations have elicited prompt reactions from administration officials. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House border czar Tom Homan have initiated investigations into leaks concerning upcoming operations, which they assert have put agents at risk. Noem bluntly labeled the FBI as "corrupt" and vowed to bring the so-called "crooked deep state agents" to justice.
The administration, as reported by Breitbart News, has identified several sources of leaks and is preparing to take action, including terminations and potential legal proceedings, against those found responsible.
