DOJ Employee Charged With Terrorism For Doxxing Fellow Federal Agents

She doxxed them in the midst of a raid, at the point of maximum danger.

A staffer for the U.S. Department of Justice is facing state-level terrorism charges in South Texas after authorities say she exposed the identity of a federal agent during an immigration-related raid, triggering what investigators called a credible threat against the agent's life.

Cameron County officials arrested Karen Olvera De Leon, an employee with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville, following a criminal indictment alleging she posted the agent's personal information in the middle of an active law-enforcement operation. She has been charged with one count of terrorism and one count of tampering with physical evidence.

District Attorney Luis Saenz said the case began on June 9, when federal agents executed a raid in Brownsville and bystanders began livestreaming the operation. As the video spread across social media, viewers flooded the comment section. Investigators say one user issued what they deemed a death threat toward the federal agent shown on screen. Moments later, another commenter publicly revealed the agent's identity.

So there's very little doubt that she understood what she was doing might lead to the agent's murder.

According to Saenz, authorities traced the doxxing back to Olvera De Leon, a DOJ employee tasked with supporting federal prosecutions.

Just weeks after the Brownsville doxxing incident, a gunman in tactical gear opened fire at a U.S. Border Patrol building near McAllen International Airport. Police and Border Patrol agents engaged the shooter and ultimately killed him, but not before a McAllen officer was wounded.

She looks like a real Sad Sack unwanted AWFL, except Hispanic.

She'll be trading in her Trader Joe's Box Wine for Prison Toilet Wine.

These women are filthy and disgusting. They support murder, and they crow righteously about their support of murder.

Speaking of seditious federal employees: Judge Boasberg.

Calls for the impeachment of James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, have intensified throughout this year.

What began as a partisan reaction to a single ruling has morphed into a broader debate about judicial ethics, political influence and the role of federal courts. The question now is whether Chief Justice John Roberts will act.

The initial push for impeachment came in March, after Judge Boasberg issued an order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport purported members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

President Trump responded sharply on social media, calling Boasberg a "Radical Left Lunatic," and posting on X that the judge "should be IMPEACHED!!!"

That same day, Texas GOP Rep. Brandon Gill and five co-sponsors introduced articles of impeachment alleging Boasberg used "his judicial position to advance political gain" and obstructed "the President's constitutional prerogatives." The proposal drew some division within the Republican Party. Sen. John Kennedy, R.-La., called the proposal "idiotic," and Sen. John Cornyn, R.-Texas said, "You don't impeach judges who make decisions you disagree with."

Of course John Cornyn said that. Let's definitely send him back to the Senate, Texas.

The uproar also prompted a rare public statement from Chief Justice John Roberts: "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

...

Impeachment pressure intensified after Just the News reported that months before his Alien Enemies Act ruling, Boasberg traveled to Idaho to attend a privately-funded Rodel Institute legal conference. The conference's sponsors and speakers had publicly criticized Trump on immigration and January 6, and one of the conference sessions was titled "Role of Judges in a Democracy."

Critics argued that Boasberg's attendance created at least the appearance of bias. Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said on the John Solomon Reports podcast that Boasberg's attendance at the Rodel Institute conference was "a creation of, obviously, a conflict of interest, at least in appearance" and that "when you have cases like this, you have to be absolutely above reproach."

...

Additional reporting revealed that Boasberg had spoken out about his belief that the Trump administration might disregard federal court rulings and provoke a constitutional crisis during a meeting of the Judicial Conference of the United States.

DOJ files misconduct complaint against Boasberg

...

The Department of Justice subsequently filed a misconduct complaint with the D.C. Circuit's Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, alleging that Boasberg violated Canons 1, 2(A), and 3(A)(6) of the Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges. These canons require federal judges to "uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary," "act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary," and to avoid "mak[ing] public comments on the merits of a matter pending or impending in any court."

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the complaint publicly, saying that Boasberg's comments "undermined the integrity of the judiciary." DOJ urged Judge Srinivasan to refer the matter to a special investigative committee to determine whether Boasberg's conduct constituted "conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts."

And then it turned out, surprise surprise, that this leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp had been "randomly" assigned as the judge in the Arctic Frost fishing expedition, and, get this, the leftwing reliable Rubber Stamp reliably rubber stamped all the subpoenas to spy on Congressmen, and quite illegally ordered the subjects of the subpoenas to keep them secret from the Republican congressmen targeted.

But John Cornyn supports this illegal spying on his fellow Republican Senators. (Cornyn wasn't surveilled, of course!)

Impeachment efforts gained traction again late last month after Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a set of subpoenas issued during former Special Counsel Jack Smith's election-related investigation into Trump. The investigation, known internally at the FBI as "Arctic Frost," involved 197 subpoenas seeking records on roughly 430 Republican individuals and entities, according to committee documents.

The news brought Boasberg back into the spotlight as he signed the subpoenas and nondisclosure orders.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called on Boasberg to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding this role in the once-secret surveillance of Republican senators. "An Obama-appointed activist judge, James Boasberg, ordered [Verizon] not to tell me about Jack Smith's subpoena for my phone records, falsely claiming I might destroy so-called evidence," Blackburn posted on X. "He must answer before the Senate Judiciary Committee for this blatant abuse of power."
