AOC and Trump's Border Czar Clash Over Immigration Webinar

Tom Homan accuses Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of impeding ICE operations, while she defends educating migrants on their rights.

  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office hosted a 'Know Your Rights' webinar providing migrants with information on how to handle ICE encounters.
  • Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, suggested that the webinar could legally impede federal immigration enforcement and has sought DOJ guidance.
  • AOC shared a guide on social media advising migrants to exercise their constitutional rights, such as not opening doors to ICE without a warrant.
  • Homan criticized the webinar as potentially aiding law evasion, while legal experts argue such educational efforts are protected under free speech laws.
  • The Department of Justice has not yet announced whether it will investigate Ocasio-Cortez's actions.
