BREAKING: The Homan Cash Contracts Scandal-What It Really Means-and Why We Should Be Furious

The Scandal That Proves Trump’s DOJ Isn’t About Justice

The Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter #564: Saturday, September 20th, 2025.

There are moments where we’re supposed to shrug. Shake our heads. Turn away. But this ain't one of them.

You’re likely going to be pissed off when you read this. Like, “F*ck that son of a bitch!!” kind of pissed off. If you’re not…check your pulse.

The recent revelations about Tom Homan…

Trump’s Border Czar, taking cash contracts and being under investigation by the DOJ should light up every red flag on the moral dashboard.

This isn’t politics as usual. This is corruption in the open…with the stench of cover-ups…hypocrisy…and betrayal of the public trust.

If you haven’t followed the story:

MSNBC just broke the story…not even an hour ago…that Tom Homan was under DOJ investigation…allegedly for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents tied to contracts.

The contract deals…the payoffs…and then the silence. Democratic Underground+1

Yes, accepted money. From undercover agents.

And yes…the DOJ shut down the investigation…or collapsed it…one version says.

SIDE NOTE: when they “shutdown,” what that often means is “buried,” “squeezed,” or “politically neutered.” These are the ugly options.

This article is not some journalistic recapitulation (though we’ll get the facts).

It’s a warning.

Because what we’re seeing here isn’t an isolated incident…it’s a pattern. A pattern of erosion of rule of law…of moral standards…of institutions that are supposed to protect citizens…not serve jackals.

What We Know So Far

Before you dismiss this…let’s lay out the facts, as best as they’re known…so there’s no wiggle room for doubt:

Tom Homan’s Role:

Former ICE Director, now Border Czar under Trump. A public figure with huge influence over immigration, detention, enforcement policy. Wikipedia+1

The Allegation:

He was under investigation by the DOJ for receiving a $50,000 payment from undercover FBI agents. This allegedly tied to contract work. The investigators’ idea: that Homan may have steered federal contracts in a way that benefited private actors who paid him. Democratic Underground+1

The Contracts:

The contracts in question are a mess. Firms that could profit from immigration enforcement or detention policy may have had favorable access. The appearance alone sets off alarm bells. Conflicts of interest? Absolutely. Corruption? Maybe. Investigation? Supposedly yes…until it wasn’t.

The Investigation’s Fate:

Apparently, the DOJ investigation into this was shut down…or at least truncated. That’s the part that smells most like that choking sound corruption makes when it’s closing off oversight. The public has little official clarity on exactly why. Democratic Underground+1

The Cover-Up Path:

As is often the case, official denials, obfuscations, claims of “nothing improper” get floated while evidence gets buried. Public records remain vague. Transparency remains a punch-line.

Why This Is Worse Than You Think

It’s not just that someone may have taken money. It’s not even just that an investigation was stymied. What this reveals is far more dangerous:

A. Erosion of Accountability

When the DOJ investigates someone close to the power center…you’d expect due process…transparency…clarity. But no. We get half-statements…half-facts…and then silence. Accountability becomes a lame joke.

B. Public Office as Private Profit Center

People like Homan are supposed to serve. Not profit. When a public servant can profit off being in a position of power…directing contracts…pushing enforcement policies that benefit contractors…then reward those benefits with cash…then that’s not public service. That’s exploitation.

C. The Weaponization of Law

What message does this send? That if you’re inside the right circle…you may receive payments or contracts. But if you’re outside…you obey whatever harsh policy…border crackdown…detention expansion…legal stretch comes from power. It’s not rule of law…it’s rule by favor.

D. The Rot Spreads Up

This doesn’t stay isolated. If you let the Border Czar get away with shady contracts, DOJ investigations collapsed…loose ends tied up…what prevents the same pattern with DHS…ICE…CBP…or agency after agency?

The rot spreads until you don’t have agencies anymore…you have personal fiefdoms answering to one man, one ideology.

Why We’re Already Seeing Blowback

Here’s what’s already happening because of this…or because people are waking up to things like this:

• Media outrage. MSNBC and others are exposing this…but only because some parts won’t shut up. If this were just buried quietly…nobody would know.

• Citizen distrust. People are losing faith in DOJ…in oversight, in “justice.” If investigations are only for show…then law is just a tool of whoever is in power.

• Political theater intensifies. Opponents will use this for leverage…but often those around the system will use it to entrench themselves further.

What It Says About Trump’s DOJ

Here’s where the anger ratchets up: this piece of business confirms things many people have suspected for years:

That the DOJ under this regime isn’t a neutral arbiter. It’s a tool. A weapon. A mechanism of protection for those who have access…and a cudgel for those who don’t.

Imagine: you…or someone you love…is being prosecuted under immigration law…under border enforcement policy.

Maybe your legal status is precarious…your rights fragile. But the people behind the enforcement apparatus? They can be in bed with the profits…contracts…payments…back-deals…and still walk free.

That’s not justice. That’s tyranny in components.

That also means the DOJ…an agency supposed to be above politics…is being politicized and corrupted from within. Which means our system’s final checks…the legal system…investigations…truth…are being castrated.

The Version They’ll Sell You

You’ll hear:

• “No proof beyond rumors.”

• “Investigation never concluded.”

• “Done previously with similar allegations.”

• “This is political witch hunt.”

• “Tom Homan maintains his innocence.”

They’ll do this because they don’t have to prove moral rot in public. They need just enough ambiguity. Because where there’s ambiguity…there’s room for power to keep being abused.

What We Must Demand and How

If you believe in a country that isn’t just ruled by people who can buy contracts…avoid accountability…and silence investigations…you have to move.

Not slowly. Not later. Now. Here’s what to demand:

Full transparency:

DOJ must release full findings (unless truly national security, then at least credible redacted docs). Who authorized stopping this investigation? Why?

Independent oversight:

An independent inspector general should examine Homan’s contracts and payments. Congress should demand hearings.

Conflict-of-interest legislation:

No public official with enforcement power should be in contract negotiations with firms that can profit from their policy decisions.

Whistleblower protections:

If insiders tried to report what was going on…protect them. Ensure they are not retaliated against.

Media persistence:

Journalists must follow this…not let it get buried.

Public pressure:

Write…call…protest. Make noise so loud that it can’t be ignored.

Why This Matters

I remember similar stinks from the 1980s. Officials taking payoffs…contracts…and no consequences.

The smell of corruption…the anger of citizens heckled into silence. We shook our heads…we went to town halls…we tried to reform. Sometimes it worked. Often it didn’t. But the fight was necessary.

This Homan scandal is not just another headline.

It’s a warning that the structure itself is under siege: the institutions promised to protect justice…fairness…and accountability are being hollowed out.

And if we let this pass…if we accept the idea that enforcement officials can take cash contracts, evade investigation…and keep their positions…then we’re giving up more than just moral high ground. We’re giving up the foundation.

So don’t let this become just another “scandal that faded.” Don’t let them sweep this under carpets of “we have no conclusion.”

Hold their feet to the fire. Demand results. Because the only thing worse than corruption is corruption with impunity.

I will be writing more, and digging deeper…as this story develops. That…I can GUARANTEE YOU.

Step up today…and go full paid subscriber…so you never miss a damn thing.

This corrupt bullshit….has to end.
