Border Czar Homan Refers AOC to DOJ for Advising Migrants

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice following a referral from Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar, for allegedly advising illegal immigrants on their rights during a recent online webinar. The session, titled 'Know Your Rights With ICE,' informed migrants on how to respond to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and warned them about tactics used by ICE during searches. Critics argue that this guidance could be seen as impeding law enforcement efforts, while supporters assert that it is a constitutional right to inform individuals of their rights. Homan has expressed uncertainty about the legality of Ocasio-Cortez's actions, questioning whether they could warrant prosecution. The situation has sparked heated debate among lawmakers and commentators about the role of elected officials in providing legal information to immigrants. Ocasio-Cortez has dismissed the allegations, suggesting they reflect a misunderstanding of constitutional rights.
