More Conflicts: Trump “Border Czar” Runs Firm Helping Secure Federal Contracts For Homeland Security Clients - Accountable US

A new analysis by Accountable.US first reported by Rolling Stone found President-elect Trump’s “border czar”, Thomas Homan, could face conflicts of interest with his private consulting firm, which touts Trump’s endorsement while claiming it has secured “tens of millions of dollars of federal contracts” for his homeland security industry firm clients.

A fundraising event hosted by a charitable organization and linked to Donald Trump may have broken the law if it explicitly benefited his campaign, as an IRS rule bars charities from endorsing candidates for elections.

#Border911, a Trump-backed charitable organization led by Tom Homan, his former Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief, hosted a gala on April 4 that Trump attended.

Other attendees included former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Matt Whitaker, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Justice under Trump

Donald Trump Fundraiser May Have Broken the Law

An organization that has limits on its political activities held a fundraiser last week where Donald Trump spoke.

Newsweek

…Another expected attendee Thurs night is #RodneyScott, who served as #BorderPatrol chief during Trump’s last yr in office & has defended #ZeroTolerance by arguing that it was effective in slowing down migration.…Scott explored the idea of placing buoys in the #RioGrande to deter migrants years before #Texas actually did it.

#Trump’s open-armed association w/the group — & his intensifying focus on migrants & crime on the campaign trail — provide one of the clearest windows yet into a potential 2nd term & the hard-liners he might appoint to #DHS to enforce #immigration #law.

In campaign rallies & interviews w/ #Newsmax & #FauxNews, Trump has said he’d put #TomHoman & others back into a potential 2nd admin “to have great border security.”

#TomHoman now heads #Border911, a *nonprofit* that warns of the supposed threat posed by undocumented immigrants.

On Thurs, #Trump is set to see him at a Mar-a-Lago gala hosted by #Border911. …The gathering will also include #MattWhitaker, who served as chief of staff at the #DOJ when it implemented #ZeroTolerance. Later, when Whitaker testified before Congress as *acting AG, he conceded there was NO PLAN to REUNITE FAMILIES.

During remarks this week, #Trump said he wanted to “pay tribute” to a person he very much respected.

Trump thanked #TomHoman, who served as acting director of #ICE during Trump’s admin [Trump loved “acting” posts bc they aren’t subject to congressional confirmation] & has since been a frequent commentator on #FauxNews.
