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.\u201cIt\u2019s being looked at (AOC employing illegal alien), can\u2019t comment past that. I\u2019m aware of it, we\u2019ve asked ICE to drill in on that case,\u201d Homan said. \u201cAs far as her educating people how to evade ICE arrests, she\u2019s really educating them on how to avoid prosecution. Because there are statutes on the books when you knowingly hinder your removal, that\u2019s a crime.\u201dJohnson questioned how an undocumented immigrant could have secured employment in Congress and potentially gained access to classified information.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not possible,\u201d Homan stressed, emphasizing that the congresswoman will be held accountable if such claims are accurate<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Although the bill narrowly failed in the Senate by five votes, de la Vega, despite his undocumented status, worked as a \u201cspecial assistant\u201d to former Harlem Assemblymember Robert J. Rodriguez and interned for Representative Carolyn Maloney (D), the report added<\/p>\n
In 2022, de la Vega was appointed Deputy Communications Director by Ocasio-Cortez. In an interview with Migrant Insider, AOC praised him, saying, \u201cDiego is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Homan sent an email to the deputy attorney general requesting an investigation into Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n
That came shortly after reports emerged that the New York Democrat was hosting seminars teaching undocumented immigrants how to avoid ICE enforcement.<\/p>\n
Following Homan\u2019s email to the DOJ, AOC revealed that the Trump administration had yet to answer her requests about whether she is under federal investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve asked them, they haven\u2019t responded to me,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News. \u201cBut 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\u2019ve written a formal letter, and they won\u2019t respond.\u201d<\/p>\n
The congresswoman organized a \u201cKnow Your Rights\u201d webinar earlier this year, in which lawyers advised illegal immigrants on how to respond to interactions with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities.<\/p>\n
The internet forum, held in both English and Spanish, provided legal advice and distributed papers, including one declaring that immigrants \u201cdo not have to open the door\u201d for ICE officials unless they had a judge-signed warrant.<\/p>\n
Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Ocasio-Cortez has forcefully denied any allegations that her actions were inappropriate, labeling the prospect of a federal inquiry \u201cpolitically motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ocasio-Cortez is also under fire as her district has decayed into a crime-ridden cesspool, and voters are furious with her.<\/p>\n
Since she was first elected in 2019, major crime has risen by a staggering 70 percent in her Bronx\/Queens district.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous \u2018Market of Sweethearts\u2019 human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period,\u201d The Post said in its report.<\/p>\n
\u201cMajor crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft,\u201d the outlet continued.<\/p>\n
The 115th precinct, which is also in the representative\u2019s district, saw a whopping increase of 85 percent in major crimes, and her constituents are frustrated with their celebrity representative.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not doing s\u2013t. She doesn\u2019t live in the neighborhood, she doesn\u2019t care,\u201d Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez, a former supporter of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, said.<\/p>\n
The Democratic Party\u2019s Senate conference is currently at odds after Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) erupted into a tirade against a number of his colleagues over what he referred to as support for the Trump Administration.<\/p>\n
Booker has argued that support for the legislation is part of a \u201cpoison pill\u201d aligned with President Donald Trump\u2019s policies, including tax cuts. The New Jersey lawmaker also argued that it will lead to cuts to social programs and disproportionate spending on police resources between blue and red states.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Democratic Party needs a wake-up call. I see law firms bending a knee to this president, not caring about the larger principles, that those free speech rights that you can take on any client, why are you bending the knee? I see universities that should be bastions of free speech bending at the knee to this president. I see businesses taking late-night talk show hosts off the air because they dare to insult a president,\u201d Booker ranted on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n
He then took aim at his Democrat colleagues in a move that has fiercely divided the conference, according to reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what are the very people here elected to defend the Constitution of the United States saying, \u2018oh well today let\u2019s look the other way and pass some resources\u2019 that won\u2019t go to Connecticut, that won\u2019t go to Illinois, that won\u2019t go to New York, that will go to the states he likes. That is complicity with an authoritarian leader who is trashing our Constitution. It\u2019s time for Democrats to have a backbone. It\u2019s time for us to fight. It\u2019s time for us to draw lines,\u201d Booker continued.<\/p>\n
He went on to state that Democrats \u201cdeserve to lose\u201d if they continue on their current path. \u201cWhen are we going to stand together for principles that I just heard that were agreed with? When are we going to stand together? If we don\u2019t stand as Democrats, we deserve to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to a report from Punchbowl News, Booker delivered even more forceful remarks against his colleagues behind closed doors. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of us in this caucus that want to F***ING fight! And what\u2019s bothering me right now is we don\u2019t see enough fight in this caucus,\u201d the senator reportedly said.<\/p>\n
He accused Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) of \u201cenabling Donald Trump to do a broadside attack on my state,\u201d suggesting they were complicit in allowing Trump\u2019s policies to harm blue states.<\/p>\n
According to Punchbowl News reporter Max Cohen, Booker was \u201cheated\u201d when he exited the Senate floor. \u201cThe Democratic Party was about to give Donald Trump tens of millions of dollars when he has already told the Democratic Party, \u2018I\u2019m not gonna let blue states have this,\u2019\u201d Booker told the outlet.<\/p>\n
\u201cBooker: \u201cThey were about to be complicit to the very things they say out of another side of their mouth that they object to. Democrats need to learn to fight and fight [Trump] and stop him from hurting people. In this case, he would have hurt police officers in half the states\u201d<\/p>\n
The report comes as Senate Democrats remain divided on their best strategy to regain control of the chamber ahead of a very unfavorable map in 2028. Of the three toss-up seats identified by Cook Political Report, two are held by Democrats (Michigan, Georgia), while the party will also be facing an uphill battle to flip the seat in North Carolina following the retirement of Thom Tillis.<\/p>\n
Seats in Minnesota and New Hampshire, both of which are held by retiring Democrats, also received a \u201clean D\u201d rating from Cook, while only the seat held by Susan Collins (R-ME) received a \u201clean R\u201d grade. The rest of seats up for grabs strongly lead towards one party or the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
