ICE Official Convicted of Treason for Notifying Media, Pols About Raids
June 21, 2025
A military panel at Guantanamo Bay on Friday found a former ICE official guilty of treason for betraying President Donald J. Trump and tipping off the media to imminent ICE raids that took place in late January and early February.
As reported previously, on February 11, JAG investigators arrested Peter Berg, a senior official with ICE’s enforcement division, after President Trump fired him for gross incompetence. Unbeknownst to Berg, Trump had already obtained evidence proving that Berg, among other Biden loyalists at ICE, had been supplying media outlets and liberal lawmakers with advance knowledge of when and where ICE would strike. Democratic Congresspeople like AOC, Hakeem Jeffries, and Ilhan Omar shared the leaked intel with community leaders in sanctuary cities, and the illegal aliens, forewarned, either hid or moved elsewhere while ICE was in town.
Berg had tried to flee from the investigators who’d been sent to arrest him, further cementing his guilt. Nonetheless, he had pleaded not guilty at an arraignment and was held in pre-trial confinement until Friday.
Berg’s tribunal was brief. Acting Judge Advocate General Rear Admiral Lia Reynolds, presiding over the case, summoned two witnesses (we’ve been asked to not disclose their names) to testify for the prosecution. Both were subordinates to Berg at ICE from 2023 to the day Trump fired him.
Witness One testified under oath that Berg, on January 23, confided in him that he intended to “resist President Trump’s immoral, unethical, illegal deportation of working undocumented persons in the United States.”
“Were you in the defendant’s office at the time?” quired Admiral Reynolds.
Berg’s JAG-appointed lawyer objected. “You’re leading the witness.”
“I’ll rephrase: Where were you and the defendant when he told you that?” she asked.
“In his office,” Witness One answered.
“Was anyone else other than you and the defendant present at the time?” the Admiral asked.
“No.”
“Did the defendant say anything else?” she asked.
“Yes. He told me he had a moral responsibility to inform the media and politicians about upcoming ICE arrests in Chicago, Atlanta, and New York City,” Witness One said.
“And what was your reaction to the defendant’s suggestion,” asked the Admiral.
“I was shocked. He’d never said anything like that before. I told him to leave me out of it and I’d forget the conversation,” Witness One said.
“And how did the defendant respond to your refusal?” asked the Admiral.
“He told me Trump would ‘go down’ with or without my help and to forget the discussion if I knew what was best for me,” Witness One said.
Admiral Reynolds had no further questions for Witness One, and Berg’s attorney leaped at the opportunity to cross-examine him.
“You just testified that you, my client, and no one else were in the room when he allegedly said he would alert the media and some politicians. Is that correct?” Berg’s lawyer asked.
“Yes, sir,” Witness One answered.
“Do you have any recordings of this so-called meeting? Video? Audio? Anything?” the lawyer prodded.
“No, sir,” Witness one answered.
“So, then, what we have going on here is a he says, she says game. Your word against his. Is that correct?” Berg’s attorney asked.
“I suppose, but the leaks did happen,” Witness One said.
“After your meeting, did my client ever actually tell you he alerted anyone, a single media personality or member of Congress?”
“No, he did not,” Witness One said.
“No more questions,” said Berg’s counsel.
You do not betray the President of the United States and the American people. Thank you President Trump.
