Border Czar Tom Homan announced that he has officially opened a federal investigation into Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over allegations that she employed an undocumented immigrant on her staff and assisted other illegal aliens in evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.The Trump administration is investigating Ocasio-Cortez for two alleged offenses: employing an undocumented immigrant who subsequently assisted another individual in evading ICE. In an interview with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, Homan stated that he has instructed the agency to pursue legal action against her.“It’s being looked at (AOC employing illegal alien), can’t comment past that. I’m aware of it, we’ve asked ICE to drill in on that case,” Homan said. “As far as her educating people how to evade ICE arrests, she’s really educating them on how to avoid prosecution. Because there are statutes on the books when you knowingly hinder your removal, that’s a crime.”Johnson questioned how an undocumented immigrant could have secured employment in Congress and potentially gained access to classified information.
“It is not possible,” Homan stressed, emphasizing that the congresswoman will be held accountable if such claims are accurate
In March, Diego de la Vega voluntarily left the U.S. amid intensified deportation efforts by the Trump administration, citing concerns for his safety. He became politically active in 2010 when he supported the DREAM Act, legislation that sought to create a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.
Although the bill narrowly failed in the Senate by five votes, de la Vega, despite his undocumented status, worked as a “special assistant” to former Harlem Assemblymember Robert J. Rodriguez and interned for Representative Carolyn Maloney (D), the report added
In 2022, de la Vega was appointed Deputy Communications Director by Ocasio-Cortez. In an interview with Migrant Insider, AOC praised him, saying, “Diego is amazing.”
Homan sent an email to the deputy attorney general requesting an investigation into Ocasio-Cortez.
That came shortly after reports emerged that the New York Democrat was hosting seminars teaching undocumented immigrants how to avoid ICE enforcement.
Following Homan’s email to the DOJ, AOC revealed that the Trump administration had yet to answer her requests about whether she is under federal investigation.
“I’ve asked them, they haven’t responded to me,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News. “But you know, I was once again fully using the First Amendment to inform people of their constitutional rights. They say a lot of things, but I’ve written a formal letter, and they won’t respond.”
The congresswoman organized a “Know Your Rights” webinar earlier this year, in which lawyers advised illegal immigrants on how to respond to interactions with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities.
The internet forum, held in both English and Spanish, provided legal advice and distributed papers, including one declaring that immigrants “do not have to open the door” for ICE officials unless they had a judge-signed warrant.
Ocasio-Cortez’s office also supplied information on how to receive pro bono legal assistance and urged undocumented people to sign privacy release forms, which would allow her office to interfere in deportation proceedings.
Ocasio-Cortez has forcefully denied any allegations that her actions were inappropriate, labeling the prospect of a federal inquiry “politically motivated.”
Ocasio-Cortez is also under fire as her district has decayed into a crime-ridden cesspool, and voters are furious with her.
Since she was first elected in 2019, major crime has risen by a staggering 70 percent in her Bronx/Queens district.
“The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous ‘Market of Sweethearts’ human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period,” The Post said in its report.
“Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft,” the outlet continued.
The 115th precinct, which is also in the representative’s district, saw a whopping increase of 85 percent in major crimes, and her constituents are frustrated with their celebrity representative.
“She’s not doing s–t. She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care,” Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez, a former supporter of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, said.
Rachel Booth, a 38-year-old mother of three from Barnton, Northwich, was found dead in a lake at Oakmere after vanishing following a late-night visit to a local gas station. Her disappearance sparked a widespread search that ended in heartbreak when police recovered her body on July 21, 2025.
The community remains stunned by the tragedy, as questions linger about the events leading up to her disappearance in the early hours of July 19. Booth was last seen buying milk and wine at a Shell petrol station at around 3:50 a.m., appearing calm and composed according to employees.
The following days saw a massive search effort involving officers, sniffer dogs, and diving teams focused on the Delamere area, including the closure of the Wild Shore Delamere water sports site. Despite the extensive operation, authorities confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death, leaving her loved ones devastated.
Rachel was known not only as a devoted wife to Carl Langley and a loving mother to Alfie, Archie, and Ronnie, but also as an active and well-liked member of her community. Friends and neighbors described her as kind and clever, a constant presence in their lives. Her family released a heartfelt tribute honoring her strength, love, and the irreplaceable space she leaves behind.
To support her surviving family, a GoFundMe fundraiser has been created, raising thousands to provide for her three boys and contribute to an ADHD charity close to their hearts. As the community mourns Rachel’s untimely passing, they come together to remember her warmth and to help her family find hope amid profound loss.
A Region Shaken: The Earthquake That Transformed Southeast Asia Overnight
It began as a seemingly ordinary morning in Southeast Asia. Streets were quiet, markets slowly stirring, and the hum of daily life echoed softly through small towns and sprawling cities alike.
Then, without warning, the earth beneath the region roared to life. Buildings shuddered, walls cracked, and families were thrown into chaos as a magnitude 7.7 earthquake tore through the borderlands of China and Myanmar.
In mere seconds, familiar landscapes were transformed into scenes of devastation, and the ripple effects of this seismic event were felt far beyond the epicenter.
The quake struck at 10 kilometers beneath the surface, a shallow depth that amplified its destructive force. This was not just a geological event; it was a sudden human crisis, exposing vulnerabilities in infrastructure, preparedness, and emergency response systems across multiple nations.
