Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) mocked Trump “border czar” Tom Homan, saying she could be in “trouble” for holding a webinar for migrants about knowing their rights amid ICE raids and deportations.
In response to a clip of Homan appearing on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle on Thursday, saying he has asked the deputy attorney general to look into the situation, and that “maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now,” Ocasio-Cortez gave him a suggestion.
“‘MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw,’” AOC mocked. “Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start.”
And in a post a few hours earlier in response to Fox host Sean Hannity calling attention to her webinar, Ocasio-Cortez shared a bilingual guide for those encountering ICE agents.
“Believe it or not, in America EVERYONE has rights,” she wrote. “Citizen or not, we all should know our rights to protect ourselves and others from illegal search & seizure. ICE often attempts to enter homes without a proper warrant. They can go get one.”
The Trump administration’s immigration raids—which have spurred racist imposter ICE agents—have reportedly caught up American citizens as well, including those who were detained in New Jersey without agents showing a warrant.
Homan’s complaint about Ocasio-Cortez’s webinar comes on the heels of the pro-Trump head of the Federal Communications Commission launching a probe into a San Francisco radio station for broadcasting ICE agents’ live locations.
