The past week’s media frenzy tried to paint Border Czar Tom Homan as corrupt after reports that he allegedly accepted $50,000 from undercover FBI operatives — a claim that collapsed once the Justice Department closed its probe with no evidence of criminal conduct. Conservatives shouldn’t be surprised that a man who closed our porous border is being smeared; Washington’s permanent class has a long history of deploying leaks and staged “investigations” when they want to slow down real results.
Homan publicly and forcefully denied any wrongdoing in interviews, calling the allegations a coordinated hit piece and reminding Americans that the DOJ found nothing illegal after reviewing the case. He’s right to be indignant: public servants who volunteer to step into the mess at the border deserve the presumption of innocence, not nightly smears designed to destroy reputations.
The White House, correctly, has stood behind Homan and blasted the episode as another example of the politicization of federal law enforcement — a necessary rebuke given how weaponized agencies became under the previous administration. Patriotic Americans must ask why career bureaucrats and friendly reporters would conspire to amplify unproven allegations against someone executing the administration’s lawful policy.
Look past the headlines and you see a familiar pattern: conservative officials who actually enforce the law are repeatedly targeted by left-leaning outlets and operatives who prefer chaos at the border. Homan’s critics are not upset because of ethics or facts; they’re upset because he dares to restore order and put American citizens ahead of open-borders politics.
Tom Homan has a record of securing the border by enforcing existing law, and that practical, no-nonsense approach is exactly what millions of Americans demanded in 2024. Whether you agree with every tactic or not, the results — fewer crossings, safer communities, and the reclamation of federal authority over immigration — speak for themselves and deserve applause, not character assassination.
This episode, reported in late September 2025, should be a wake-up call: we cannot allow the deep-state rumor mill and a complicit media to intimidate officials who carry out courageous, necessary work on behalf of the country. Hardworking Americans who want a sovereign nation and secure communities should stand with Homan, demand accountability from partisan prosecutors, and stop letting the swamp set the political agenda.
