Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez epically trolled President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, over revelations that he was the subject of a bribery probe.

‘Who’s the illegal now @RealTomHoman?’ she smarted on X Saturday afternoon.

Homan has been the face of Trump’s mass deportation policy during the president’s second term – something the New York progressive has been robustly against.

AOC shared an MSNBC piece that said Homan was the target of an FBI undercover operation last year, after the subject of a separate investigation accused Homan of soliciting payments in exchange for promises of contracts should Trump win reelection.

In an undercover sting, the FBI recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating that he could help the agents win government contracts should a Trump 2.0 administration come to fruition.

The FBI agents pretended to be business executives, and on September 20, 2024 hidden cameras recorded Homan accepting the money in cash at a designated meeting spot in Texas.

While Homan was appearing alongside Trump on the campaign trail, he wasn’t a public official at the time.

Sources told MSNBC that DOJ and FBI officials decided to wait to see if Homan delivered on the promises he made to the undercover agents once he joined the government again.

The U.S. Attorney’s office in the Western District of Texas worked with the FBI and the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, according to an internal Justice Department summary reviewed by MSNBC.

The probe looked into the ‘Border Czar and former Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan and others based on evidence of payment from FBI undercover agents in exchange for facilitating future contracts related to border enforcement,’ the document read.

The president named Homan ‘border czar’ on November 11, 2024, just six days after he won the election.

Homan is technically a White House official, meaning the job did not require Senate confirmation or an FBI background check.

The case stalled after Trump was sworn in and MAGA-aligned officials filled the top of the FBI and Justice Department.

It’s unclear what official justification was given for shutting down the probe, but a Trump Justice Department appointee called it a ‘deep state’ investigation in early 2025, sources told MSNBC.

Other Trump officials suggested they believed the case to be politically motivated.

‘This matter originated under the previous administration and was subjected to a full review by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing. The Department’s resources must remain focused on real threats to the American people, not baseless investigations. As a result, the investigation has been closed,’ FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told MSNBC in a statement.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson told the left-leaning network that the probe was a ‘blatantly political investigation.’

She said it ‘found no evidence of illegal activity’ and said it was another example of how ‘the Biden Department of Justice was using its resources to target President Trump’s allies rather than investigate real criminals and the millions of illegal aliens who flooded our country.’

‘Tom Homan has not been involved with any contract award decisions. He is a career law enforcement officer and lifelong public servant who is doing a phenomenal job on behalf of President Trump and the country,’ she added on behalf of Homan.

Neither the White House nor Ocasio-Cortez’s office responded to the Daily Mail’s request for additional comment.
