A longtime Department of Homeland Security worker was punished earlier this year after she accidentally included a journalist in an email about an upcoming federal immigration operation, according to a report.
The unidentified employee told colleagues she inadvertently included the reporter from a conservative Washington-based newspaper on a January message, according to an NBC News report Thursday that cited former ICE chief of staff Jason Houser, a former DHS official and a current DHS official.
The email wasn’t classified, but still contained sensitive law enforcement information, including the time of the operation and possible homes that were targeted, the officials told NBC News.
When the staffer realized the screw up, she contacted the reporter, who agreed not to share the information, according to NBC News, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation went off without a hitch.
News of the error comes as cabinet members in the Trump administration face scrutiny and criticism after The Atlantic editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, ended up on a private Signal chat discussing plans to attack Houthis terrorists.
