The whistleblower from the Department of Homeland Security during the Obama Administration was found dead near his vehicle outside of Sacramento Friday morning.

Authorities found 66-year old Philip Haney dead by a single gunshot wound. Haney was known for exposing President Obama’s orders to scrub the records of Muslims with terrorist ties.

According to the Amador County Coroner’s Office, deputies and detectives responded to a report of a man shot near Highway 124 and Highway16 in Plymouth, California.

In the report obtained by the California Globe, Haney died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound… A firearm was found near Haney’s body and his vehicle. An investigation is active and ongoing.

Bill Becker, president and chief counsel of Freedom X and friend of Haney’s, posted on Facebook, “I’m in shock this morning to learn that my dear friend Phil Haney, former DHS whistleblower and author of “See Something, Say Nothing,” has died from gunshots in San Francisco. Phil, Trevor Loudon and I are the first recipients of American Freedom Alliance’s American Freedom Award. May he RIP.“

Becker told the California Globe he can‘t comment on the cause of Haney’s death but he can comment on who he was, “Phil had firsthand evidence that Obama was secretly advancing Islamic hegemony in the U.S. He sacrificed his career to expose it. He was a friend and a patriot.“

Others who knew Haney said they don’t believe he committed suicide and he was preparing to go back on the road during the 2020 election season.

Kelly Walton posted on Haney’s Facebook page, “Phil was a hero. No way this is suicide. While I was running the ACT chapter network, Phil tirelessly worked to get the truth out. Watch your back everyone.”

Another friend and former Marine Randy McDaniels told the California Globe, “There are a lot of conflicting reports. I knew Phil well enough to say for certain…he would on no way commit suicide.”

Haney is considered a patriot by many. In 2016, he told Sean Hannity, he was ordered to scrub the record of Muslims in the United States with terrorist ties during the Obama administration.

The political correctness during the Obama presidency according to Haney killed an investigation that could have prevented the San Bernardino Christmas party killings in California by terrorists, Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. Farook and Tashfeen killed 14 people and wounded another 21.

“Civil Rights and Civil Liberties shut the case down because we were focusing on individuals who belong to Tablighi Jamaat,” said Haney in an interview with Breitbart in 2015. ”Tablighi Jamaat members under the organization structure of the Deoband movement – a Salafi Islamic group – were coming to America, going to mosques all over the country, at the invitation of imams and leaders who were already known to be linked to terrorism.”

Haney founded the Passenger Analysis Unit or PAU under Customs and Border Protection in 2003. The PAU was responsible for vetting, investigating, putting the dots together of persons traveling to the United States who could be a security threat.

In 2018, Haney was working on special assignment to prevent Rep. Keith Ellison from being elected Minnesota’s Attorney General. Friends of Haney reported he was currently working on protecting Americans from progressive leftist socialists.

A lengthy Tweet by Andrew Bostom, Academic MD & author of The Legacy of Jihad, The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, Sharia Versus Freedom, gives testimony to Haney’s work.
