AOC taunts Trump's border czar with four-word reply after report he accepted bribe

By David McAfee
Published September 20, 2025 5:21 PM ET

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had a stinging response for Donald Trump's border czar following a report that Tom Homan had accepted a bribe from undercover FBI agents.

Raw Story reported on Saturday about a MSNBC exclusive in which the outlet claimed that Homan had previously been investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents.

"In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC," the outlet reported. "The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January, according to six sources familiar with the matter. In recent weeks, Trump appointees officially closed the investigation, after FBI Director Kash Patel requested a status update on the case, two of the people said."

Ocasio-Cortez had a brief response over the weekend. She tagged Homan on X and wrote, "Who’s the illegal now?"
