“Come Get Some”: Tom Homan Says He’s Not Afraid of Potential Prosecution in Watters Interview

Jesse Watters asked former border czar Tom Homan whether he fears prosecution if Democrats return to power. Homan rejected the idea, saying critics should “come get some,” and defended his record while blaming past policies for family separations and drug deaths. Separate reporting in September 2024 said federal agents recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in a probe; Homan has denied taking a bribe.

On Monday’s episode of Jesse Watters Primetime, host Jesse Watters asked former Trump administration border czar Tom Homan whether he fears being prosecuted if Democrats regain control of the White House. The exchange focused on recent criticism of Pentagon actions in the Caribbean and broader scrutiny of officials who carried out controversial migration and security policies.

Exchange on potential prosecutions

Watters framed the question by pointing to public criticism aimed at Pentagon actions and figures such as Pete Hegseth, suggesting rank-and-file officials could face legal consequences for following orders. “Are you worried, Tom, that they’re gonna target you with prosecution after this is all over?” Watters asked.

Homan responded directly: “Well, they’ve already said they’re going to. So come get some. Bottom line is, I’m not gonna let them forget what they did the last four years.” He went on to fault past immigration enforcement and border policies, saying, “A half a million children were separated from their families and smuggled across this border. A quarter of a million Americans died from drug overdoses that came across that border.”

The interview closed with Watters telling Homan to “stay safe.”

Background and recent reporting

Homan oversaw an aggressive deportation approach during the prior administration. Operations under his watch detained both individuals accused of violent crimes and many who were nonviolent; there have also been documented instances in which U.S. citizens were temporarily detained during immigration sweeps and later released after proving their citizenship. Some raids were reported to involve masked, badgeless agents from immigration enforcement agencies.

FBI probe and Homan’s response

Separately, reporting in September 2024 indicated that federal investigators recorded Homan accepting a bag containing $50,000 in cash during an FBI counterintelligence probe. According to that reporting, the payment — placed inside a restaurant-branded bag — led to questions about whether Homan agreed to help undercover agents, posing as businessmen, win future government contracts related to border security. Homan has denied the allegations, saying, “I didn’t take $50,000 from anybody.”
