Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. In the summer of 2024 – as the Presidential election was nearing – the FBI, along with the DOJ’s Public Integrity section and the US Attorney’s office for the Western District of Texas, launched a federal investigation into Tom Homan “based on evidence of payment from FBI undercover agents in exchange for facilitating future contracts relating to border enforcement.” It is alleged that on September 20, 2024, hidden cameras captured Homan accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents posing as business executives to...

In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC. The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January, according...

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly anointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has issued a chilling call to arms targeting the President of the United States, Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other top administration officials, including Elon Musk and Cabinet members. The Islamic terrorist, already wanted by the U.S. government with a $6 million bounty on his head, released a 34-minute video on Sunday, filled with explicit threats and calls for bloodshed inside the United States, the New York Post reported. Al-Awlaki, speaking in Arabic but quickly translated and circulated on social media, issued a...

White House Border Czar Tom Homan joined Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC today to discuss ICE actions in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Governor Maura Healey have both vowed to fight the Trump administration over deportations, with Mayor Wu calling them "oppression" while Maura Healey attacked the National Guard, saying they "do nothing" for public safety. Mika tried to defend Healey and Wu over their sanctuary state/city policies, and Homan was having none of it. Homan also brought the receipts, telling the audience exactly who ICE rounded up in Boston. That includes a 33-year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala, arrested...

“We have the most secure border in the history of this nation."IRVING, Texas — Border czar Tom Homan said Friday night that he was “amazed” at how quickly the Trump administration was able to secure the southern border. Speaking at the second annual State Freedom Caucus Summit near Dallas, Homan said illegal immigration was down 96% under President Donald Trump. Homan told the state lawmakers gathered at the conference that “even I am amazed” at how quickly the administration was able to shut down illegal immigration. “We have the most secure border in the history of this nation,” Homan said....

@RealTomHoman: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is "a significant public safety threat... He's a gang member, designated terrorist, and he's been ordered removed by two different federal judges... I'm giving you my word: he WILL be deported from this country."

BREAKING: Border Czar Tom Homan says ICE aims to secure 100,000 BEDS for illegal aliens and says they've deported over 300,000 illegals in 2025. WOW! "We won't stop until we have 100,000 beds. Everyone we arrest needs a bed for due process, where they see an immigration judge. They may stay days or months, but we need beds for the largest deportation operation in history." "I checked the numbers today. We've already surpassed 300,000 removals, historic despite four months of inaction under Joe Biden." "With the Big, Beautiful Bill, more boots on the ground, detention beds, and transportation contracts, watch...

Trump administration border czar Tom Homan fired up the crowd at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit Saturday night when a heckler asked Homan, “Are you an MS-13 member?“ But the heckler’s comments added fuel to Homan’s fire as he delivered fiery closing remarks, saying, “Tom Homan is going to run the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen. Take it to the bank.” “U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A,” the crowd chanted as Homan exited the stage. About five minutes into Homan’s speech, he was interrupted by a heckler who was escorted out by security, lighting a fire for the rest...

Border czar Tom Homan revealed the Department of Homeland Security has already located 10,000 of the approximately 300,000 migrant children that went missing under the Biden administration. “Have you heard that anywhere?” Homan said on Fox News. “No, the media’s simply not covering it. And look, this should be a nonpartisan issue. Arresting public safety threats and national security threats, everybody should be on same page on that. Rescuing children, I mean, it should be a nonpartisan issue. Everybody should be in lockstep on that, but they’re not. The media’s lying. The Democrats don’t want President Trump to be successful,...

White House "border czar" Tom Homan told CBS News on Monday "there's no intention to arrest" California Gov. Gavin Newsom, after President Trump suggested he was open to the idea — escalating a war of words over the protests and law enforcement response in Los Angeles."That whole thing's been taken out of context," Homan said. "They haven't crossed a line yet … If you cross that line, I don't care who they are — the governor, the mayor, whatever — and when you commit a crime against ICE officers, we will seek prosecution."The administration and Newsom have sharply criticized each...

Collin Rugg @CollinRugg BREAKING: A panicking CA Governor Gavin Newsom calls on ICE director Tom Homan to **arrest** him as the riots in Los Angeles rage on. "Tom, arrest me, let's go." The governor was seen lashing out at the Trump administration as his state descends into chaos. 9:39 PM · Jun 8, 2025

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass could both face federal charges over their response to ICE raids in the city, President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has warned. As violence tore apart sections of downtown LA, Compton and the suburb of Paramount, the administration has accused the Golden State Dems of fueling tensions, which exploded in riots on Saturday. “Someone is going to lose their life,” Homan warned, speaking to NBC News. He said that he has not ruled out asking the Department of Justice to prosecute the elected officials for allegedly having a role in...

This week, President Donald Trump’s border czar said that he is “convinced” there will be a major terrorist attack in the United States as a direct result of former President Joe Biden’s open border policies. “It’s coming,” Homan said in an interview on Fox News, adding that there were 2 million “got aways” who crossed the border during Biden’s tenure. “Why did 2 million illegal aliens pay more to get away?” Homan told Hannity. “They could have paid half of what they paid to cross the border, turn themselves in to Border Patrol agents, get released that same day, get...

Border czar Tom Homan warned Monday that he’s “convinced” the US will suffer a major terrorist attack as a direct result of former President Joe Biden’s immigration and border policies.“It’s coming,” Homan said of the possibility of a 9/11-style attack conducted by migrants who illegally snuck across the southern border under Biden. The roughly 2 million so-called “gotaway” migrants whom Border Patrol agents never apprehended during the previous administration concern Homan more than the drug smuggling or sex trafficking that took place on the US-Mexico boundary during Biden’s only term in office, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “These...

Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan criticized Democrat Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on Saturday for trespassing at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility while claiming he was supporting the rule of law. Baraka was arrested and briefly detained Friday, along with two other Democrats, reportedly rushing into the center when the gates of the facility opened to allow a bus carrying apparent illegal alien criminals inside. “We ask them to obey our laws, to obey the policies, the rules here, in the city and the state of New Jersey, not to run roughshod over the Constitution of the United States,...

In an epic warning, Border Czar Tom Homan promised retribution to Democrat leaders who defy President Donald Trump’s immigration policy. Specifically singling out so-called sanctuary cities, Homan stated, “Wait till you see what’s coming,” in his ominous warning. For context, sanctuary cities are far-left towns that have laws in place to restrict the enforcement of immigration laws. Several deep-blue areas, like New York or San Francisco, have passed ordinances that limit local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE. Such was shown when Tom Homan sparred with a journalist outside the White House on May 1, 2025. The journalist asked, “The...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex) took to the airwaves to warn that "randomly kidnapping folks and sending them to other countries could be considered an act of war. Let's look at it from the perspective of these other countries. How you you feel if hardened criminals like Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members were sent into your country? You'd be thinking 'what did we do to deserve this?' I wouldn't be surprised if the World Court issued an arrest warrant for Donald Trump for doing what he's doing." Acting Director of the US Immigration and Customs Tom Homan challenged what...

President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has made it clear that having U.S.-born children does not grant undocumented immigrants automatic immunity from deportation. In a recent statement, Homan emphasized that while the presence of citizen children may be considered during immigration proceedings, it does not override violations of immigration law. During an interview on CBS News’ Face the Nation, Tom Homan reiterated that having a U.S. citizen child does not make undocumented immigrants "immune from our laws." “Having a U.S. citizen child after you enter this country illegally is not a get-out-of-jail-free card,” he said. “American families get separated...

“Average day under Joe Biden, more than 1,800 got-aways. Yesterday, 38,” he said. “Thirty-eight too many? We’ll get that to zero, but we went from 1,800 to 38.” “From January 20 to April 1 last year, 184,000 were released under Biden. Under this administration, nine,” Homan explained, adding that of those nine, four were material witnesses in criminal trials, four had extreme medical emergencies, and one was a humanitarian case.

The Biden administration released millions of illegal immigrants into the U.S. interior “on purpose,” Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, said during a press conference Monday morning. “And as far as releasing so many people — you know why the Biden administration released millions of people United States?” Homan asked. “No one ever talks about, I’ll talk about it.” “Why did they release people into the interior United States rather than put them into an ICE bed? Why not put them in an empty ICE bed, $127 a night, rather than a hotel at 500 bucks a night?” Homan...
