This happened Monday but the story came out today

The Department of Homeland Security intelligence official in charge of tracking cross-border threats was escorted from his office on Monday by federal police and security after an afternoon search that left his office sealed with crime tape, according to four sources with direct knowledge of the events.
The official in question is Brian Sulc, executive director of the Transnational Organized Crime Mission Center at DHSs Office of Intelligence and Analysis in Washington. Sulc has been placed on administrative leave. He is under investigation for an alleged security violation, bringing a personal electronic device inside the secure office, where phones and electronic devices are prohibited. He has not been arrested nor charged with a crime.
At about 4:15 p.m. on Monday, three squad cars from the Federal Protective Service a DHS law-enforcement body tasked with protecting the department and federal buildings drove into DHSs northwest Washington complex with flashing lights. The FPS officers joined security on the third floor of the secure building to search Sulcs office. While they were doing the search, Sulc was escorted out of the building flanked by security and FPS and taken to a different location on the DHS campus for questioning, two sources said.
The office has been sealed shut with crime tape, and evidence seals were placed around the door and across the keyhole so no one can enter...

Millions of Fentanyl Pills Found Hidden in Shipment of Green Beans at Border Crossing South of San Diego
$21 million worth, they say.
Mexico leaders and the Biden administration last week announced a partnership to combat fentanyl trafficking coming north and gun trafficking going south. The same day, the U.S. Department of Justice announced fentanyl trafficking charges against dozens of Sinaloa cartel members, including drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's sons.
Could just be coincidence.

It's said there are a thousand kids that trump tore away from their parents at the border who never got reunited and are 'lost' at this time. Maybe it's about them. Not sure how long this guy has been in DHS. Do we know?
