“A leader of the Trump administration’s effort to [abduct] and deport millions of immigrants was recently a paid consultant for a detention center company that is expected to benefit financially from the crackdown, according to a federal ethics filing. Before he joined the administration, ‘border czar’ Tom Homan earned an undisclosed amount in fees consulting for a division of GEO Group, one of two companies that operate the vast majority of the nation’s immigrant detention facilities, according to the disclosure, which was released last week. The filing, which has not been previously reported, did not specify what work Homan performed. The document said GEO paid him more than $5,000 during the two years preceding his government appointment in January. Ethics rules do not require any more specific disclosure and the amount Homan received could be far higher.” (05/27/25)
