Border czar Tom Homan: Congress woman may be violating the law by telling illegals how to evade ICE

WASHINGTON, DC- There’s a new sheriff in town.

His name is Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar. Unlike previous “border czar” Kamala Harris, Homan promises to go after anyone who facilitates the protection of illegal aliens…including members of Congress. 

The New York Post reports that on Friday, Homan took professional bartender and current House member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to task over being complicit in helping illegal aliens avoid deportation. He alleged the representative referred to as “AOC” may be “impeding” federal immigration authorities in their task of arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens. 

In a webinar hosted by her office earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez’s office explained tactics used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New York to arrest illegal aliens. 

“I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general. At what level is that impediment? Is that impediment?” Homan said of the webinar in an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on the network’s “The Ingraham Angle.” 

“Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? If so, what are we going to do about it?” Homan said he asked the DOJ. 

“Maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now,” Homan continued, continuing that “impediment is impediment in my opinion.” 

“I’m not a prosecutor, but we need some further guidance on that.”

The Post said that Ocasio-Cortez did not directly participate in the Facebook webinar, which was led by an immigrant rights advocate who outlined how ICE is conducting raids in New York. That advocate told viewers that ICE raids have occurred “early in the morning” and “in public places” with ICE agents using unmarked vehicles as they stopped cars as people were driving to and from work. 

In addition, the speaker–Genia Blaser, a lawyer with the Immigrant Defense Project–mentioned that ICE arrests have taken place during mandated check-ins with federal immigration officials in New York City. Outside of the city, such arrests typically occur during probation or parole appointments and also when illegal aliens are being transferred from police custody. 

Another speaker, only identified as Laura, who also is affiliated with the Immigrant Defense Project, said that the group has “very, very rarely” seen cases in New York where ICE agents have secured judicial warrants and advised illegals to refuse to cooperate with federal authorities if they do not produce a warrant. 

Ocasio-Cortez, who can never be confused with a Mensa candidate and who called billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk “not too smart,” attempted to mock Homan on X for alleging that she possibly broke the law. 

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw,” she wrote in what she probably believed was proper English. “Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start.” 

AOC alleging someone else should read the Constitution is rich since neither she nor most Democrats have a clue what the Constitution says, in particular the 14th Amendment, which people such as Ocasio-Cortez, Democrats, their media sycophants, and immigration rights groups say guarantees “birthright citizenship.” Which it does not. 

In response to Ocasio-Cortez’s childish mocking on X, Homan responded, telling Fox News Digital: 

“Let’s pray that she is not ‘educating’ the next murderer of a young college nursing student on how to evade arrest by ICE. How many more young women have to be raped, murdered, and burned alive until she wakes up?” 

The nursing student Homan was referring to is Laken Riley, who was raped, tortured, and brutally murdered on the University of Georgia campus by an illegal alien last year.

Homan, former acting director of ICE, also said he is “well aware of the Constitution,’ but noted “that DOJ gives legal interpretations on issues like this to ensure ICE acts in accordance of the law.” 

“It’s not OK to be in the US illegally. It’s a violation of federal law to enter this country illegally. It is not OK to assist those in the US illegally in furtherance of their illegal entry and unlawful presence,” Homan continued. 

“I thought I educated her on this several years ago during congressional testimony,” Homan said in reference to a clash he had with Ocasio-Cortez during a congressional hearing in President Trump’s first term. 

“She can call it ‘advising those who are illegally in the US of their constitutional rights.’ But we all know it’s really about evading ICE and how not to get arrested and how not to adhere to a federal judge’s order to leave after receiving due process at great taxpayer expense,” Homan said. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Ocasio-Cortez, who solidified her reputation as a vapid airhead who cannot even define what an “American” is. She said she was “glad Mr. Homan is checking with the Department of Justice to familiarize himself with the limits of his agency’s authority in entering the homes of everyday Americans without a warrant.” She continued that she is “proud to offer civil education to everyday Americans to ensure ICE’s compliance with the law, given the numerous reports of agents providing incorrect paperwork in their attempts to enter and search private homes. [emphasis added]

“Since Mr. Homan seems to be vaguely familiar with U.S. immigration law, we also remind him that according to Congressional statute, becoming undocumented in the United States is a civil offense and not a criminal one,” she continued, again proving her ignorance of the law. 

“I look forward to continuing our work in ensuring the safety of everyday New Yorkers while keeping families together.” 

Perhaps Ms. Ocasio Cortez can familiarize herself with 8 U.S.Cl 1325 of the US Code, Unlawful Entry, Failure to Depart, Fleeing Immigration Checkpoints, Marriage Fraud, Commercial Enterprise Fraud, which “sets forth criminal offenses related to (1) improper entry into the United States by an alien…” 

"Sets forth criminal offenses" seems to make illegal aliens guilty of the crime of illegal entry to the United States. 

AOC, proving every day she's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.
