Homeland Security Committee Dems Demand Tom Homan Testify on Cash-for-Contracts Bribery Scandal
(WASHINGTON) – Today, Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, led Committee Democrats in sending a letter to Committee Chairman Andrew Gabarino (R-NY) to demand he call Trump administration “Border Czar” – and Department of Homeland Security official – Tom Homan to appear before the Committee to answer allegations that he accepted cash bribes in exchange for promises to deliver government contracts.
“Homan has been at the forefront of the Trump administration’s extreme immigration enforcement tactics, positioning him to help former business partners and clients capitalize on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) border security and immigration enforcement spending,” the Members wrote.
“Scrutinizing Homan’s role in DHS contracting is critical as the administration rushes to obligate $170 billion in border security and immigration enforcement funding provided under the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act,’” the Members added. “As the Committee responsible for ensuring that DHS’s mission is faithfully executed, we have an obligation to take testimony, on the record, regarding the role that Homan has played in the Department’s contracting decisions since entering government in January 2025.”
“No one is above the law. The American people deserve to know why President Trump’s so-called Border Czar allegedly used his position and influence to take bribes in his own self-interest. Congress must investigate Tom Homan’s actions and his influence on government spending. We urgently request that you call him to testify before the Committee on this matter without delay.”
