Pro Publica Investigates Border Czar Tom Homan
An investigative article published this week by Avi Asher-Schapiro, Jeff Ernsthausen and Mica Rosenberg of Pro Publica looks at Tom Homan's business dealings after serving in the first Trump administration.
The Big Beautiful Bill authorized $45 billion for immigration detention. And, as the article highlights, Homan's business relationships are now under scrutiny after MSNBC reported an FBI sting that allegedly caught him on tape accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents before becoming border czar.
Pro Publica's article “Trading on Tom Homan: Inside the Push to Cash In on the Trump Administration's Deportation Campaign,” provides additional details about Homan's involvement in contracting as the administration rolls out billions of funding for immigration prisons.
Members of the House Committee on the Judiciary have also raised questions about Homan's past work as a paid consultant for the GEO Group, a private prison company that operates immigration prisons.
