what happened to tom homan

Tom Homan, the former ICE director and current figure often described as Trump’s border czar, has been the subject of ongoing media scrutiny in 2025 related to a bribery-adjacent controversy. Reporting has centered on questions about whether he accepted cash from undercover agents and whether that matter was properly disclosed or investigated by authorities. Several outlets have covered denials from Homan and calls from watchdog groups for ethics or inspector general reviews, but as of late 2025 the DoJ and related watchdogs have issued statements or conclusions varying by source. If you’d like, I can summarize the key developments from multiple outlets and point to the specific timelines and official responses.
