A deportation officer with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and a retired DHS law enforcement agent were among five people indicted on July 6 in a widening federal investigation over an alleged plan to hunt down Chinese dissidents in the United States.
Craig Miller, who’s currently assigned to DHS’s Emergency Relief Operations in Minneapolis, and former DHS agent Derrick Taylor, who’s presently employed as a private investigator in Irvine, California, were accused of obtaining and disseminating “sensitive and confidential information from a restricted federal law enforcement database,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on July 7.
