Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez boldly challenged border czar Tom Homan after he threatened to report her to the Justice Department. Homan's claims followed her office's recent "Know your Rights" webinar aimed at advising migrants on how to protect themselves from deportation. Ocasio-Cortez defended her actions, asserting the legality of her informational campaign and her right to free speech. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between immigrant rights advocacy and the enforcement of deportation laws under the current administration.
Ocasio-Cortez asserted that there was "nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me."
Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections.
I'm working with the Department of Justice and finding out. Where is that line that they cross? So maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now.
What she needs to do is read the statutes enacted by Congress... because it's a crime to enter this country illegally.
