Tom Homman, the border czar under President Donald Trump, has thrown down the gauntlet by referring U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the Department of Justice—a move that has many wondering if the Congresswoman from New York has finally overstepped her leftist bounds. This development follows Ocasio-Cortez’s recent antics aimed at helping illegal immigrants dodge the very enforcement mechanisms designed to uphold U.S. immigration law.
Reports indicate that Ocasio-Cortez’s latest endeavor involved hosting a webinar where she freely dished out advice to migrants on how to evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The audacity of a sitting congresswoman providing a virtual seminar on evading law enforcement should not just raise eyebrows but possibly barricade her in a courtroom. The seriousness of this referral slices through the usual partisan banter, pointing to a potential breach of the law that even her supporters may find hard to justify.

During the live event, dubbed “Know Your Rights With ICE,” Ocasio-Cortez’s office made it clear that they were prepping migrants on what to do if ICE came knocking. This included all sorts of tips on how to cope with agents’ requests for home invasions or workplace inquiries. Perhaps someone should remind her that law enforcement isn’t simply a suggestion but an essential duty of the government—one that she seems keen on undermining.
Homman, during a recent Fox News appearance, hinted at the legal quagmire surrounding Ocasio-Cortez’s actions. He described the need for clarity on where the legal line lies—and whether AOC has not only wandered over that line but possibly trampled all over it. His comments paint a picture of a government official who believes an obstruction of justice might be at play here, given the congresswoman’s blatant attempts to impede the work of federal immigration authorities.
While it’s uncertain whether charges will formally be brought against her—an anticipation that may trigger a frenzy of progressive outrage—one thing is clear: the gloves are off. If there is indeed an investigation looming on the horizon, then Ocasio-Cortez could find herself in a predicament that could make her previous “Green New Deal” look like a delightful stroll in the park. As conservatives watch this unfold, the real spectacle will be to see if the left rallies behind yet another public official accused of flouting the law in the name of their ideological warfare.
