EXCLUSIVE: Top Homeland Official Sexted Penis Pics to Fellow Agents; Got Month Paid Vacation “Punishment;” HUGE Vulnerability to Blackmail
**** EXCLUSIVE – MUST CITE DebbieSchlussel.com ****
Did a top Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official send photos of his penis to various female fellow employees of Homeland Security and ICE? Multiple sources from within both agencies, who spoke with DebbieSchlussel.com on the condition of anonymity, say he did. Through his actions, the sources say that the official, Jon Gurule–who was then the SECOND IN COMMAND of America’s illegal alien deportation operations–made himself extremely vulnerable to hackers and blackmail, perhaps by Islamic terrorists or other foreign and domestic bad actors. Despite that, Homeland Security and ICE officials gave Mr. Gurule a 30-day paid vacation as “punishment,” DebbieSchlussel.com has learned from sources. Mr. Gurule is still on the job. At the time he allegedly sent the photos, he was the chosen deputy of Thomas Homan, the Obama-era amnesty apologist who Donald Trump has appointed as the current ICE chief.
Ever since last summer (the summer of 2016), I’ve been receiving reports from various ICE agents and officials regarding Jon Gurule, the then-ICE Assistant Director for Field Operations for Enforcement and Removal Operations. That’s a fancy title for second in command of ICE’s deportation function. Until February, Mr. Gurule was still listed in that position in the “leadership” section of ICE’s website. But he was replaced by another agent who is currently “acting” in the capacity of Gurule’s former job title, because of the alleged photos.
Agents told me that Mr. Gurule, a married father, sent photos–apparently using his ICE e-mail–of his genitals to more than one woman with whom he was allegedly flirting and sexting at ICE. They said that one of those women was one of ICE’s chief public affairs officers, dealing with media requests. I contacted ICE’s media affairs outfit Tuesday to confirm this with the public relations officer (whose husband is a top ICE official), but I was told she is unavailable for comment until Monday.
I’m told that none of the women–most of them ICE agents themselves–reported Mr. Gurule. I’m also told that he was caught because ICE routinely monitors its server and official e-mails, and it caught the e-mails bearing the questionable photos.
What outrages many ICE agents is that Mr. Gurule, who has Senior Executive Status and is paid more than $200,000 per year including benefits, did not receive much punishment, if any. He was given a 30-day paid leave–essentially a month-long paid vacation. And the story has been swept under the rug. Although he did the same thing as then-Congressman Anthony Weiner, Gurule was in a much more sensitive position–where he could do tremendous harm to America’s national security.
Ironically, in a time when many media and political demagogues are whining about alleged “Russian hacking of the election” (which never happened), the real danger is possible hacking into Homeland Security and other federal databases by Muslim, Chinese, Russian, and other malefactors who seek information with which to blackmail federal officials. And Mr. Gurule is Exhibit A of this danger. Had he not been caught by Homeland Security’s haphazard monitoring of agents’ e-mails, he would have been extremely vulnerable to dangerous blackmail. As the second in command of deportation operations in America, Gurule could have worked the system to keep some chosen Islamic terrorist or Russian or Chinese agent from being deported if he were forced to do so in order to avoid public embarrassment dangled over his head by one of America’s enemies. At the time, he had the juice and the discretion to do so.
Gurule also had above Top Secret Security Clearance and access to highly classified and sensitive material and information, which he could have been extorted into sharing with our enemies abroad and within. Gurule was one of a small group of federal officials with the elite level clearance known as Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information, or TS/SCI. The documents to which he had access are on the wish list of every single actor who wishes to do America harm. And I’m told he likely still has that level of security clearance.
Given this, Gurule (rhymes with Jeff Gillooly) should have been punished. Moreover, so should all of the female ICE employees and agents who received the alleged photos of his genitals and didn’t ever report them to ICE leadership. All of them knowingly made America less safe. And, yet, all of them–including Mr. Gurule–are still gainfully employed by the government.
To date, Mr. Gurule apparently still has his ICE badge and federally-issued gun. ICE agents told me Mr. Gurule was recently at a Department of Homeland Security range in Virginia, practicing his shooting skills, so he is still on full duty as an ICE agent, although he’s been hidden away from ICE headquarters.
It should be noted that Gurule was the hand-picked deputy of Thomas Homan, who is now the acting director of ICE. Mr. Homan, as I’ve repeatedly noted on this site, has his own record of questionable behavior that could have made him vulnerable to blackmail by foreign agents at several points in his career. He also has a record of lying under oath to Congress as an apologist for Obama-era “reverse escorting,” in which illegal aliens–in the custody of agents under Homan’s command–were not deported like they were supposed to be. Instead, Homan’s agents were ordered to escort the aliens from the Southern border into Northern states, including Michigan, where they were given shelter and legal aid in order to game the system and stay here. Longtime readers will remember that, in 2013, Homan was asked by Congressman Kerry Bentivolio during a committee hearing about my article on reverse escorting, and he falsely denied it during his sworn testimony.
You have to wonder what the Trump Administration was thinking, bringing this guy and Gurule-buddy back from retirement to run the immigration show. It should be noted, however, that the Gurule “d–k pics” were allegedly sent and the lax “punishment” occurred during the tenure of Barack Obama.
Tuesday evening, ICE public affairs sent me the following statement in response to my inquiries regarding Mr. Gurule:
STATEMENT:
Allegations of misconduct are treated with the utmost seriousness and routed for appropriate investigation. As public servants working for a law enforcement agency, ICE employees are held to the highest standard of professional and ethical conduct. ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility investigates all allegations of misconduct. Appropriate action is taken in the event an investigation substantiates an allegation.
Thanks,

Here’s what I asked:
From: Debbie Schlussel
Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2017 4:25:24 PM
To: ICEMedia
Subject: Time-Sensitive Media Inquiry . . .To ICE Public Affairs/Media Staff:
I’m writing to confirm that ICE official Jon Gurule, who is still employed by the agency, was caught sending photos of his genitals to several female ICE employees, including ICE Public Affairs official [redacted]. Please confirm. Please also confirm whether Mr. Gurule only received 30 days paid leave as a “punishment” for said offense. Please also confirm whether it is true that ICE officials who received said photos from Mr. Gurule did not report him to ICE authorities but that the photos were caught through a routine Homeland Security/ICE automated check of official e-mails.
My deadline is 9pm Eastern tonight.
Thank you,
Debbie Schlussel

Notice that, while ICE did not confirm the story, ICE also did not deny any of the allegations in my inquiry.
Notice also that it’s likely that Mr. Gurule will be a paid ICE official until he chooses to resign, which won’t likely occur any time soon . . . if ever. That’s how it goes when you’re in the government.
Mr. Gurule did not respond to e-mail requests for comment.
Next time, Mr. Gurule, use Gmail or Yahoo.
The thing is, if he had used Gmail or Yahoo mail, Homeland Security’s routine checks wouldn’t have caught him . . . and he’d still be a ripe target for blackmail by Ameica’s enemies. And I’m told by my friends who are officials at ICE that ICE authorities, especially top ICE internal affairs official Timothy Moynihan (who heads ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility), spend a good deal of their time trying to find out who is talking to me.

Very interesting. First an article about the Chick-ification of Amerika, and now an article about the Prick-ification of Amerika. The narration of the demise of “this once great republic” continues.
As for who the top officials spend their time thinking about, it should be the American people that they’re sworn to protect, or is that prick-tect?
