Tom Homan, the Border Czar, said that he has started a federal investigation into Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) because she is accused of hiring an undocumented immigrant to work for her and helping other illegal aliens avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.<\/p>\n

The Trump government is looking into Ocasio-Cortez for two possible crimes: hiring an unauthorized immigrant who then helped someone else avoid ICE. Homan told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that he has told the agency to take her to court.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s being looked into (AOC hiring an illegal alien), but I can\u2019t say anything else. \u201cI know about it,\u201d Homan said. \u201cWe\u2019ve asked ICE to look into that case more closely.\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s not really teaching people how to avoid ICE arrests; she\u2019s teaching them how to avoid prosecution.\u201d It\u2019s against the law to willfully stop your removal because there are laws against it.<\/p>\n

Johnson asked how an undocumented immigrant could have gotten a job in Congress and perhaps gotten access to classified material.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not possible,\u201d Homan stressed, emphasizing that the congresswoman will be held accountable if such claims are accurate.<\/p>\n

TownHall.com said that Diego de la Vega departed the U.S. on his own in March because he was worried about his safety. This was during the Trump administration\u2019s increased efforts to deport people. He got involved in politics in 2010 when he backed the DREAM Act, which aimed to give undocumented immigrants who arrived to the US as kids a means to become legal.<\/p>\n

The bill only lost in the Senate by five votes, although de la Vega worked as a \u201cspecial assistant\u201d to former Harlem Assemblymember Robert J. Rodriguez and interned for Representative Carolyn Maloney (D), even though he was undocumented.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez named de la Vega Deputy Communications Director in 2022. AOC told Migrant Insider that Diego is \u201camazing\u201d in an interview.<\/p>\n

Homan emailed the deputy attorney general in February to ask for a probe against Ocasio-Cortez. That happened not long after news broke that the New York Democrat was holding seminars to teach undocumented immigrants how to avoid ICE enforcement.<\/p>\n

After Homan sent an email to the DOJ, AOC said that the Trump administration still hadn\u2019t answered her questions about whether she is being investigated by the federal government.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News at the beginning of last month, \u201cI\u2019ve asked them, but they haven\u2019t answered me.\u201d \u201cBut you know, I was once again completely using the First Amendment to let people know about their rights under the Constitution. They say a lot of stuff, but I sent them an official letter and they haven\u2019t answered.<\/p>\n

When asked about what might happen next, she didn\u2019t hold back. She stated that holding an elected official without any real reason would be a \u201chuge sea change and escalation in what this administration is willing to do to bend laws, norms, and so on, and how a normal functioning democracy works.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI sure hope that for all the saber-rattling that this administration is doing, that they really think about the global consequences of what it means for the United States,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the congresswoman held a \u201cKnow Your Rights\u201d webinar where lawyers told illegal immigrants how to deal with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.<\/p>\n

The online forum, which was in both English and Spanish, gave legal advice and handed out papers. One of these papers said that immigrants \u201cdo not have to open the door\u201d for ICE authorities unless they received a warrant issued by a court.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s office also gave information on how to get free legal help and told people who were in the country illegally to sign privacy release forms. This would let her office get involved in deportation cases.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez has strongly refuted any claims that her actions were wrong, calling the idea of a federal investigation \u201cpolitically motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
