A bombshell new report says border czar Tom Homan became the object of an FBI sting last year after an associate suggested to FBI agents that his former boss was ripe for a bribe.

According to MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian, the Homan associate — Julian “Jace” Calderas— bragged to undercover agents that Homan “could facilitate future government contracts in exchange for big money.” Calderas is a former U.S. immigration official who worked under Homan in the Obama administration, noted the Monday report.

The report cites anonymous sources to claim that Calderas “allegedly proposed to the agents — who were posing as businessmen — that Homan, in exchange for $1 million, could help them win lucrative federal contracts if Donald Trump became president again.”

Calderas, the co-owner of a detention services and government contracting firm in Texas, had several discussions with agents about his “cash-for-contracts proposal,” the report said. It was during a Sept. 20, 2024, meeting in Dallas when agents allegedly recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash, Leonnig and Dilanian wrote, citing a government document and anonymous sources.
