Senator Rick Scott urged the Trump administration to prosecute Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her efforts to inform undocumented immigrants about their rights. He specifically named Tom Homan, despite his lack of prosecutorial power. This follows Ocasio-Cortez's webinar detailing tactics of ICE agents. Critics, including legal analysts, have argued against the prosecution, citing free speech concerns. Ocasio-Cortez humorously replied to Homan's threats, suggesting he should improve his reading skills, particularly regarding the Constitution. Homan has similarly targeted other politicians, hinting at legal repercussions for their actions.
Scott stated on the show, "It sure seems like she's violating the law, and if she's done something wrong, I hope Tom Homan does his job and prosecutes her."
Ocasio-Cortez responded to Homan's threats by quipping, "Maybe he can learn to read; the Constitution would be a good place to start."
Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley remarked that prosecuting Ocasio-Cortez over her webinar would be an assault on free speech rights.
Homan has threatened other public officials, including suggesting that New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy could be jailed for concealing an illegal alien.
