harborers
People who hide
Harborers are people who shelter or conceal others, especially those being sought by authorities: harborers of fugitives, harborers of illegal immigrants.
The term carries a sense of deliberate protection—you don't accidentally harbor someone.
It extends to concealing things: harborers of stolen goods, harborers of dangerous ideas.
