Wartime Headline Rating: D. You left the most impactful detail, the "90%" out of the headline. Too also, the dek is confusing and ungrammatical.

Here's your reminder that border czar Tom Homan, who is terrorizing hard-working immigrants, took $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting. The Trump regime killed the probe, and there’s no indication that Homan paid the money back to the taxpayers – or even paid taxes on the "income."
ms.now
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
