National - KSYL-AM

grandriver/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Last September, as former President Donald Trump was mounting his reelection bid, he posted a "big announcement" to his Truth Social media platform: "Introducing Border911," he declared, promoting a tax-exempt charity led by his former Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief, Tom Homan."Join us in making it HUGE!" Trump urged his more than six million followers.The mission of Homan's charity, Border911, is to "educate" swing voters about the threats that have allegedly streamed across the Southwest border under President Joe Biden's watch, so those voters "make the right decision" in November's election, according to public statements from Homan, a longtime Biden critic whom Trump has vowed to put in charge of an aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration if reelected.Border911 is planning to embark on a 12-stop tour of battleground states to "convince" independent and Democratic voters that border security should be their "number one" factor on Election Day, Homan said on a podcast two weeks ago."And that's what we need. Trump's going to win," he added.The charity, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, pitches itself as "a group of the most distinguished border security experts," including Border Patrol veterans Mark Morgan and Rodney Scott, and Fox News contributor Sara Carter. It has been promoted across conservative media, and some high-profile Republicans in Congress, including the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., have publicly offered their support.But an examination of Border911 by ABC News has revealed extensive ties to prominent conspiracy theorists who pushed false claims about the 2020 presidential election, and has raised questions over whether Border911 is supporting Trump's candidacy in a way that amounts to illegal intervention in a political campaign.Despite a federal prohibition on 501(c)(3) organizations favoring or opposing candidates for public office, Border911 appears to have used its clout as a tax-exempt charity to push for Trump's reelection, the experts said.That's ironic coming from a group "advocating for strict enforcement of the U.S. immigration laws," said Lloyd Mayer, a law professor at Notre Dame University who specializes in nonprofit organizations."You're big 'law and order,' but you're [potentially] breaking the law yourself," Mayer said.In response to an inquiry from ABC News, Homan said any problematic messaging was "unintentional," and that "We are making changes quickly to ensure we stay in compliance with [federal] rules."He referred any other questions to an attorney working with Border911, Steve Lentz, who told ABC News that Homan has never run a charity before and is still "learning how things work in this space."'What they mean is Trump'In two weeks, on April 4, Border911 is holding its first "major fundraiser" at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, with appearances by Trump himself, some of his top advisers, and a slew of other "Trumpers," as Homan called them. Tickets are tax-deductible, ranging in price from $1,200 to $5,000 each.Lentz, Border911's general counsel, told ABC News that Border911 sent an email to the current White House inviting Biden as well, but the invitation wasn't accepted."Let's celebrate with [Trump] and help Border911," Homan said on a recent podcast.According to Mayer, none of that would be problematic if it all weren't linked to efforts to influence the presidential election -- especially now that a Trump-Biden rematch has been secured.Federal laws "absolutely prohibit" 501(c)(3) organizations from publicly expressing any support for or opposition to any candidate for public office -- and voter education efforts "with evidence of bias" against one candidate or in favor of another clearly violate that prohibition, IRS guidelines say.As Homan has described it, Border911 is heavily relying on the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser to fund the charity's nationwide tour of battleground states, which he said will "educate" people to "vote for border security" on Election Day.Lentz insisted such rhetoric is just "presenting a position" and "not saying, 'So therefore go vote for this guy.'"But according to Mayer, Homan's own public comments and Border911's website have made clear what the Border911 team means when they say "vote for border security.""What they mean is Trump," Mayer said. "All you have to do is look at [their] materials."Over the past several months, the top of Border911's website has prominently featured a Border911-branded video with a clip of Homan saying, "No one did more to secure this country than Donald Trump; I'm a Trump guy."The video was removed this week, after ABC News asked Homan about Border911's activities. It was replaced with a flyer announcing Trump's confirmed attendance at the Mar-a-Lago event.In Border911-branded videos on the website -- sprinkled among dire and lengthy warnings about threats crossing the border -- members of the Border911 team have blasted Biden's record as "disgusting," "insulting," and "illegal," while praising Trump's record."I'm hoping to God in January 2025, we're going to have somebody back in the White House that's going to let [Border Patrol agents] do their job," Homan says in one video, which was removed Thursday from the website."We all wake up every day pissed off at what this administration has done to the security of the United States," Homan says in another Border911-branded video still on the website.Until this week, when ABC News began asking questions, the website's online "shop" sold a T-shirt emblazoned with the Border911 logo and one of Homan's mottos: "Trump comes back. I come back. We fix this [expletive]!"The T-shirt alone was "across the line," but everything else contributes to even more unlawful "political campaign intervention without a doubt," Mayer said.Dan Kurtz, a partner with the New York-based law firm Pryor Cashman who represents nonprofit organizations, agreed that Border911 has been "unequivocally" violating the law, saying charities shouldn't "intervene in a campaign with tax-free money.""It's not one of these things where you can do only a little [intervening]," Kurtz said. "You can't do any."Mayer said the IRS is usually hesitant to take enforcement action in such politically-sensitive cases, but he wouldn't rule it out, especially once the election is over, and he said understanding what Border911 is doing still matters: Defying a law enacted by Congress can undermine "the rule of law," and potential donors might want to know about it, he said."I wish they would have done some things differently," Lentz conceded to ABC News. "I would rather there be no reference to a candidate, to any elections, anything like that."Lentz said his staff "will be scrubbing everything in the days to come to make sure that there's nothing that even inadvertently looks like an endorsement of any candidate."'Treasonous'?There is no dispute that -- as an entire page on Border911's website illustrates -- key border-related numbers have surged to record levels since Biden took office, with more than 7.5 million migrant encounters along the Southwest border, nearly two million more border-crossers reportedly detected but never captured, and at least 340 migrants caught with names matching known or suspected terrorists on a government watchlist. Americans, meanwhile, are dying from fentanyl overdoses at unprecedented rates.Echoing Trump, Homan has called Biden and his administration "treasonous," accusing them of deliberately letting violent criminals, human traffickers, terrorists and fentanyl flood into the United States for political gain.But Biden administration officials reject such rhetori
