Ocasio-Cortez Questions DOJ Over Potential Investigation Tied to Immigrant Rights Seminar

The congresswoman seeks clarity from Attorney General Pam Bondi after a Trump administration official suggested her event may have violated federal law.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking if she is under investigation following a 'Know Your Rights' seminar hosted by her office on immigration enforcement procedures.
The event, held on February 12, aimed to inform undocumented immigrants about their legal rights, including guidance on interacting with ICE agents and the importance of warrants.
Former Trump border czar Tom Homan publicly accused Ocasio-Cortez of potentially impeding law enforcement and claimed to have referred the matter to the Department of Justice.
Ocasio-Cortez defended the seminar as protected under the First Amendment and criticized Homan's comments as an attempt to politically intimidate her and suppress free speech.
She requested a response from Bondi by March 5, arguing that transparency is needed to ensure the DOJ is not being used as a tool for political retaliation.
