Homan Seeks DOJ Investigation Into Ocasio-Cortez

Tom Homan, President Trump's 'border czar,' has requested a Department of Justice investigation into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for allegedly aiding undocumented immigrants by hosting a 'know your rights' webinar. Homan claims Ocasio-Cortez is obstructing law enforcement by informing her constituents about their constitutional rights, particularly regarding interactions with ICE. In response, Ocasio-Cortez has defended her actions, stating that educating people about their rights is a constitutional duty and accusing Homan of threatening free speech. Civil rights advocates argue that Homan's request is unconstitutional and a tactic of intimidation aimed at suppressing knowledge of rights among immigrant communities. The controversy highlights the ongoing tensions between immigration enforcement and the rights of individuals, particularly in the context of the Trump administration's policies. Ocasio-Cortez continues to assert that her efforts are about ensuring due process and protecting vulnerable populations.
