Homan calls out 'false statements' by Bovino following court rebuke: 'He needs to be investigated'

WASHINGTON, DC: White House border czar Tom Homan called for investigations into federal agents accused of providing false testimony, stating that “anybody who acts out of line” must be held accountable.

Speaking on 'CNN News Central' on Friday, February 20, Homan addressed reports that senior Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino gave inaccurate sworn testimony related to a 2025 tear gas incident in Chicago.


Homan said that while the Department of Homeland Security oversees immigration agencies, he expects Secretary Kristi Noem to take action if evidence confirms misconduct.

“If a judge declared he lied under oath, he needs to be investigated,” Homan said, adding that inaccurate testimony from law enforcement could intensify public criticism and distrust.

And that's because of his words, not his looks.

ICE has become globally synonymous with fascist thugs and opinion can't get much lower. Where the hell have you been, Homan?

When this shit-show collapses, no one will want to admit they were all in on the lawlessness and corruption. Homan's integrity is already questionable with the $50,000 FBI sting, He may want something to point to as an example of calling out Bovino or 'anyone who acts of of line' must be held accountable.

Too little, too late in my mind. But who knows? There are bigger fish to fry when this is over. Schools of fish. Homan's expectations of Kristi Noem may simply be a pointed, accusatory finger::

Don't forget, she's the one in charge.
