AOC Dares Trump Border Czar to Have DOJ Investigate Her

Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez isn’t backing down as President Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan keeps threatening to have the Department of Justice investigate her.

During not one but two Fox News appearances on Monday, Homan said the deputy attorney general was “looking into” whether the Democratic lawmaker had “crossed a line” and was “aiding and abetting” criminal activity.

Since last week, Homan has repeatedly called for the DOJ to come after Ocasio-Cortez for sharing information with her constituents about the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.

“Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on the social media platform Bluesky in response to his latest attacks.

The courts have held that all law enforcement—including ICE officers—can only enter private property and employee-only business areas with permission or with a valid search warrant signed by a judge. They must also have probable cause to arrest, according to the ACLU.

ICE’s own website says everyone is entitled to due process, and that it focuses on removing criminals and public safety threats.

Last week, the Ocasio-Cortez held a webinar explaining the rules. She then posted a bilingual guide on social media with advice for how to handle an encounter with ICE.

During yet another Fox News appearance, Homan warned on Thursday that she could be in “trouble” for educating her constituents on their rights.

“Maybe he can learn to read,” Ocasio-Cortez shot back the next day. “The Constitution would be a good place to start.”

Speaking to Sean Hannity on Monday, Homan said the whole “constitutional rights” argument was just pretext.

“Yeah, you can call it that. But we all know what she’s up to,” he said. “She wants to tell these people how to evade arrest, how to evade ICE.”

He then accused her of helping keep convicted child sex predators and rapists on the streets of her district. Convicted rapists, of course, are the subject of valid arrest warrants and would be taken into custody either way.

Regardless, Homan has asked the DOJ whether he can “take action” against people like Ocasio-Cortez, he told Hannity.

“We’re looking for that clear direction so we can start taking action on people who want to help educate these people to evade ICE,” he said.

He was also apparently still smarting from her previous comment that he should learn to read.

“She’s the dumbest congresswoman ever elected to Congress,” he ranted in an interview with Newsmax on Monday. “She proves that every day.”

“That’s why you fight these cowards,” Ocasio-Cortez responded on X. “The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing… He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.”
