Here's a better example (with a link) of Democrats getting stomped on and something from which we should learn:
Well, well, well. In news that surprised absolutely no one, it turns out that Grand Wizard Tom Homan—Trump’s border czar—has been moonlighting as a consultant for GEO Group, the for-profit detention giant with a rap sheet as filthy as his own.
Let’s not sanitize this. Homan is one of the most dangerous figures in Trump’s rogues' gallery—not because he’s uniquely corrupt or spectacularly incompetent (though he’s plenty of both), but because he passes for normal. He flies under the radar, cloaked by the chaos of Trump’s freak show cabinet.
He shows up on Fox News dripping with bile, peddling anti-immigrant propaganda with the faux calm of your casually racist neighbor—the one people excuse as just “from a different time.” But behind that “aw-shucks” veneer is a man whose rhetoric could be cribbed straight from the bylaws of a sundown town. Homan’s mouth foams with resentment toward anyone darker than a Klansman’s hood, and he channeled that hatred gleefully during Trump’s first term.
As acting ICE director, Homan helped design the family separation policy—an atrocity that crystallized America’s ugliest impulses: cruelty disguised as reform, xenophobia sold as national security, white nationalism dressed in the drag of law and order.
In retirement, he took his bile to Fox and the Heritage Foundation, squealing to America’s lowest value demographic about “sovereignty” while giving a wink and a nod that it was a cover for his true ideology: racial supremacy. So why come back as Trump’s border czar? That mystery evaporated the moment his consulting payments from GEO were exposed. Follow the money, as always.
Turns out, Homan isn’t a public servant—he’s a border baron, lining his pockets with bloodstained money ripped from government subsidies and the trauma of caged brown children. His push to expand GEO’s detention bed count from 41,500 to 100,000, funneling $130 million into the company’s coffers, raises one unavoidable question: is he still on their payroll?
To believe Homan’s recusal is meaningful is to believe a fox can guard a henhouse without licking its lips. His continued role in shaping immigration enforcement is more than unethical—it’s a threat to democracy, human rights, and national decency.
Because when children are torn from their parents and “men” like Tom Homan get paid to keep the keys turning, that’s not immigration policy. That’s organized cruelty for profit—and it damn well ought to be prosecuted as such.
