Homan (White House border czar; former Acting Director of ICE, 2017–2018) to highlight concerns that Alderman Lopez’s actions may not align with the values or interests of his constituents. Ward 15’s population is 70.1% Hispanic or Latino/a/x, according to the American Community Survey, making his public appearance with the former ICE director — a figure associated with controversial immigration enforcement policies — especially troubling.

Allegations and investigation against Thomas D. Homan
2024–2025 reporting described an undercover “cash‑for‑contracts” sting alleging a $50,000 cash handoff involving Mr. Homan. The Department of Justice later closed the probe without filing charges. Mr. Homan has publicly denied any criminal wrongdoing, and the White House defended him. Several lawmakers have contested the closure and requested documents and briefings. See links below for mainstream coverage and official oversight materials.
