A government memo confirms retaliation against individuals who reported illegal actions at Homeland Security. Despite their claims, no officials have faced discipline; instead, some have been promoted. Those who spoke out have suffered severe consequences: one had their law enforcement credentials and retirement revoked, while another was assigned menial tasks, hindering their career prospects. A third individual was demoted three levels and lost their firearm and credentials, marking a significant blow to their career. They collectively noted that in their combined 75 years of service, they had never faced disciplinary action until now. One supervisor even stated that the agency's goal was to drive them to despair or worse.

I’m a whistleblower and a current state employee who identifies as a Democrat, having only voted Democrat, which I say makes this a sad day for me. I consider myself very loyal: I’ve worked at my state agency for 20 years, had three jobs since graduating from college, and lived on the same block for 20 years. In 2019, a poster was put up at the agency listing three names to contact if there were concerns about fraud, waste, or abuse. I worked with those three people, and over the next year I say they made my life as miserable as it could be, during a period when my son was young. The three people were: 1) Our ethics officer. She called me and told me that if I spoke in front of the legislative committee, I would likely be fired. 2) The chief compliance officer at the time (now the commissioner). She called me on a Saturday with an HR representative and told me that when I returned to work the next week, I would have a new job. When I asked if I had any choice, she said no—“it’s this or nothing”—and that I was involuntarily transferred to a different position to get me out of where I was. 3) Our director of auditing. He completely outed me after I reported fraud to him. He called the person I was reporting on and said that Faye Bernstein told him details “about you,” which I say led to more crying at my front step.

I discovered large quantities of aluminum, barium, and strontium in the computer system for approving hazardous materials. To confirm if these substances were being sprayed, I conducted air and soil sampling, which revealed high levels of contaminants. When I raised concerns with a new commander, they threatened to put me through a mental evaluation and questioned my well-being. This validated my belief that we were violating laws and harming people instead of protecting them. Despite the fear of punishment, I found the courage to speak out because in the military, we are just numbers and our lives are controlled.

I was fired for supporting Trump after defending a man shot at a rally. My boss, a Mexican American, insulted the victim and I stood up for him. He accused me of being what's wrong with the country and kicked me out. Now I'm unsure about my future.

As a former 18-year veteran of the Department of Justice, I now lead a group called Justice Connection, aiding current DOJ employees facing demotions, firings, and threats from various sources, including January 6th rioters and those believing in the "deep state" narrative. These individuals are terrified for their careers and personal safety due to increased doxxing and harassment. The current environment within the FBI and DOJ is destabilized, impacting morale and daily functions, making it harder to focus on critical tasks like counterterrorism. While the administration defends personnel moves as aligning with its priorities, the safety and security of dedicated DOJ employees is at risk, especially with doxxing and harassment being criminal offenses.

Three government whistleblowers with 7 decades of law enforcement experience allege that Homeland Security is intentionally failing to fully enforce the DNA Fingerprint Act, a 2005 law requiring DNA collection from non-U.S. persons detained for immigration violations. They claim this non-compliance, spanning multiple administrations, makes Americans less safe and has led to preventable deaths. Recent data suggests nearly 70% of border encounters did not include DNA collection, potentially leaving almost a million violent criminals unidentified between 2010 and 2019. The whistleblowers allege this failure may have contributed to the death of Rachel Morin, as the suspect had multiple prior encounters with border agents where DNA could have been collected. They also claim they faced retaliation for speaking out, including demotions, removal of firearms and credentials, and a hostile work environment. One supervisor allegedly stated the agency's goal was to bankrupt them, make them quit, die, or kill themselves. The whistleblowers believe the intentional dereliction of implementing the DNA law is criminal.

I blew the whistle on the American Taliban case after discovering that torture had been used during the investigation. The Department of Justice failed to disclose this evidence during the prosecution. I went to the media about it, which led to a criminal investigation against me and being put on the no-fly list. This experience showed me the power and aggression of the government when you go against their narrative, even if it's based on falsehoods.

As government whistleblowers with decades of law enforcement experience, we've witnessed Homeland Security's intentional failure to implement the DNA Fingerprint Act, a law designed to protect public safety. This noncompliance, impacting millions of border encounters, has led to preventable deaths, including the tragic case of Rachel Morin. Despite bipartisan support for DNA collection upon detention for immigration violations, the law isn't fully enforced, leaving potentially hundreds of thousands of violent criminals unidentified. We faced retaliation for speaking out, including demotions and removal of credentials. The agency's goal, according to one supervisor, is to bankrupt us, make us quit, or worse. We believe this dereliction is criminal, exacerbating crime by ignoring a vital tool.

Yes, other IRS employees have reached out about coming forward as whistleblowers. They are closely watching my case, and how I am treated will influence their willingness to take risks. The personal cost of coming forward has been significant; I've lost relationships and faced debilitating depression. I'm not wealthy and live paycheck to paycheck, struggling against a powerful system that can wear me down. The IRS feels like a smothering force, hoping I will quit or be terminated. My career feels over due to how the IRS and the Department of Justice are treating me.

I was informed of my firing from FEMA verbally after I was demoted, but I never received written confirmation. My team and I faced political hostility during our deployment, particularly in areas with Trump campaign signs. FEMA promotes avoidance and de-escalation, and we documented hostile encounters without identifying specific homes due to privacy concerns. I have worked with FEMA since 2019 as a reservist while holding a civilian job at a property management company, which also terminated my employment. I have received threats and have had to relocate for safety. I welcome inquiries from Congress to share my experiences and urge FEMA to address the breaches of confidentiality by their partnering companies. I regret the way FEMA has treated me but still value the work I do. I am open to exploring legal options regarding my termination.

The speakers confirm retaliation for speaking out against Homeland Security officials. No one at Homeland Security has been disciplined, demoted, or fired for not complying with the DNA law. The speakers faced consequences like losing credentials and firearms. They were marginalized and their careers destroyed. One supervisor mentioned the agency's goal was to bankrupt, force resignation, or worse.

You've got to be heard. When I returned, my boss said I caused extra work and removed me from my squad, despite moving 2,000 miles for this job. I was assigned to a national security squad, given no work for six weeks, and sent into a potentially dangerous situation. This organization feels petty and tyrannical, not looking out for my interests or those of Americans. I was suspended without pay, complicating everything. I understand the investigation process, but it feels flawed. My experience has been filled with retaliation and unjust treatment. I want to express my side clearly during the interview, but I feel the system is broken. I don't trust the FBI anymore, and I doubt it can self-regulate. I appreciate your understanding, but I need to voice these concerns. Let’s meet soon to discuss everything in detail.

I was informed of my termination verbally after my demotion, but I never received written confirmation. They claimed my actions were for personal political gain, yet there’s a clear pattern of political hostility my team faced during deployment, particularly related to Trump campaign signage. FEMA emphasizes avoidance and de-escalation, but this issue is widespread, not just in Florida but also in the Carolinas. Senior leadership may deny awareness, but field crews can provide evidence of what's happening. It's crucial to demand FEMA's incident reports to support our experiences in the field.

I was fired the morning after a demotion, with no written notice. My termination was attributed to actions taken for my own political gain, but this ignores a broader pattern of political hostility against my team and others displaying Trump campaign signage. This wasn’t an isolated incident; similar avoidance of issues occurred across Florida and the Carolinas. Senior leadership denies knowledge, but field crews (DSA leads and specialists) can confirm the widespread problem. Requesting FEMA incident reports will substantiate these claims of political targeting.

Speaker 0 is a current state employee, a Democrat, and describes themselves as a loyal person with 20 years of service at their state agency, few job changes since graduating from college, and long-term residence on the same block. They say that in 2019, a poster was put up at the agency listing three names to contact if there were concerns about fraud, waste, or abuse. Speaker 0 says they worked with those three people and that over the next year the three names “really made my life about as miserable as it could be,” including episodes of crying at home to avoid a young son seeing them. Speaker 0 identifies the three people and describes what each did. First, the agency ethics officer allegedly called Speaker 0 to say that if Speaker 0 spoke in front of the legislative committee, they would likely be fired. Second, at that time the chief compliance officer, now the commissioner, allegedly made Speaker 0’s situation worse by involuntarily transferring them to a different position; Speaker 0 says the commissioner called on a Saturday with an HR representative and told Speaker 0 that when they returned to work the next week they would have a new job, and that Speaker 0 asked whether they had a choice and was told, “no, it’s this or nothing.” Third, the director of auditing, whom Speaker 0 says is an auditor, allegedly completely outed Speaker 0 after Speaker 0 reported fraud to him; Speaker 0 says the director of auditing called the person Speaker 0 reported on and told them that “Faye Bernstein” had told him “da, da, da” about them, which Speaker 0 says led to further crying.

I joined the FBI in 2014, focusing on violent crimes on Indian reservations and later on child pornography and human trafficking in Florida. In 2021, I was reassigned to domestic terrorism, where I became concerned about the January 6 investigations. I noticed the FBI was straying from its guidelines, which I believed jeopardized important cases and public safety. After raising my concerns, my security clearance was suspended, and I was placed in an unpaid position indefinitely. The FBI pressured me to lie to charge me with a crime and denied my requests for outside employment. If the FBI treats its own agents this way, what might they do to ordinary citizens?

After twenty years of service, I was pulled into an officer's office and counseled for posts on my social media. I was told I'm under investigation as a threat to national security. When I asked for proof, they refused, then asked me to return. Today they gave me the proof: anti Israel posts. I joined the military with an allegiance to support The United States Of America; I did not ever take an allegiance to support Israel, but I am deemed a national threat to national security because I do not support Israel and their genocide against the Palestinian people. Yes. You heard that right. I am deemed a threat to national security because I don't support Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people. Since when does not supporting a foreign nation get a US soldier investigated for being a threat to national security?

I was informed of my firing from FEMA verbally after a demotion, but I never received written confirmation. My team faced political hostility, particularly in areas with Trump campaign signs, leading us to avoid certain homes for safety. I did not vote in the last election due to deployment demands. My civilian job at Avanath also terminated me without clear reasons, allegedly due to violations linked to my work with FEMA. I have received threats and have had to relocate for safety. I welcome investigations into FEMA's practices and the treatment of employees. I regret trusting a system that has not protected me. I'm open to exploring legal options regarding my termination from Avanath.

Americans died due to Homeland Security's failure to enforce the DNA collection law, according to whistleblowers. The law, aimed at public safety, requires DNA samples from non-US persons in detention. Over 10 million border encounters since 2021 lacked DNA collection, leaving violent criminals unidentified. A murder case highlights the consequences of noncompliance, with the suspect evading detection despite multiple encounters. The whistleblowers faced retaliation for speaking out, including demotions and reputational harm. Despite their efforts, no disciplinary actions were taken against Homeland Security officials. The whistleblowers emphasize the importance of complying with the law to prevent further harm to Americans.

I wouldn't return to a job in the federal government until some things change. Right now, there's a lack of stability, and the emotional impact on me feels like a betrayal, especially considering the 30% of the federal workforce who have served on active duty. I served my country for eleven years, nine on active duty, with two deployments and time away from my family. I even missed my mom's passing while serving. I was excited to continue serving in my role, but they took it away and blamed it on my performance, despite positive reviews. It feels like my service isn't valued, and they don't care about the impact on me or others like me. To me, it feels inhumane, ignoring our personhood and disrespecting us as human beings and American citizens.

Multiple government whistleblowers with decades of law enforcement experience reveal that Customs and Border Protection has failed to comply with the DNA collection law, potentially leading to preventable deaths. Despite bipartisan support for the law, nearly 70% of border encounters did not include DNA collection, leaving violent criminals unidentified. The failure to collect DNA may have contributed to a murder case. Whistleblowers faced retaliation for speaking out, including demotions and reputational harm. The agency's intentional noncompliance with the law is seen as criminal, with no disciplinary actions taken against those responsible.

The speaker testifies about the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ against its own employees and the American people. He served in the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan, then as a police officer, and later as an FBI special agent. Despite receiving high performance reviews and being selected for specialized units, he has been smeared as a subpar employee after witnessing weaponization within the FBI. He states that too many in the FBI prioritize avoiding difficulty over upholding the Constitution, leading to an Orwellian atmosphere that silences dissent. He is speaking out despite the potential personal cost, including the loss of his job and family's home. He claims the FBI allowed him to accept orders to a new position, sell his family's home, and report to the new unit before suspending him on his first day, rendering his family homeless. He concludes that bad actors have begun running parts of the government, but he will never stop trying to serve the nation and protect the innocent.

I worked in the Medicare department at UnitedHealthcare for nearly 10 years and witnessed shocking events. A colleague was terminated, then committed a violent act, yet the company offered no increased security or support, only threats against speaking to the media. Women's safety was disregarded; I faced harassment from my trainer, who was not punished but promoted. I dealt with a threatening caller, and despite my distress, I was reprimanded for disconnecting the call. Drug use among employees was rampant, and management ignored serious incidents, like an attempted abduction outside the office. When I helped a caller find affordable medication, I was punished for going against company policy. My relationship with my boss led to retaliation, with management closely monitoring my attendance. The environment was toxic, with many employees relying on substances to cope. There are many more troubling stories to share about this company.
