Here are just a few things to know about Tom Homan, the Trump regime’s so-called “border czar” (Secretary of Xenophobia would be more accurate):

• He is one of the people most responsible for the immoral “family separation” policy whereby our government openly kidnapped children and infants as some monstrous form of immigration enforcement. (A thousand or more families ripped apart during Trump’s first term have still not been reunited.)

• He contributed to the infamous Project 2025 manifesto that is essentially serving as an authoritarian playbook for the Trump regime.

• He urged the Department of Justice to investigate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez simply for informing immigrants about their rights.

• In response to court orders against the Trump regime’s ruthless and illegal deportations, he said: “We are not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think.”

And, according to a bombshell report in The New York Times, Homan accepted a bag containing $50,000 in cash last September from undercover FBI agents posing as businessmen. Homan reportedly indicated he would be willing to help them get government contracts if Trump won the election.

This is the kind of scandal that might well have derailed any previous presidential administration. But, in the era of Donald Trump, it barely made headlines. And now Trump’s sycophantic DOJ has closed the case, whining about “the deep state.” Democrats in both the House and Senate have opened separate investigations over the regime’s choice to drop an inquiry into Homan.

Tell Congress:

As usual, the Trump regime is piling corruption on top of sleaze. The FBI reportedly has “border czar” Tom Homan on tape accepting $50,000 in exchange for a promise to deliver future government contracts. Of course, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty. (A right he ignores when it comes to the people he and those under him are summarily rounding up for the “crime” of looking or sounding Latino.) But rather than investigate and let the criminal justice system determine if Homan committed any crimes, Trump’s sycophantic DOJ has simply closed the case. The American people deserve to know what happened here, so please go forward with your investigations over the regime’s choice to drop a criminal inquiry into Homan.
