Overview

• Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) stated on 'The Benny Show' podcast that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) may have broken the law by hosting a webinar on immigrant rights.
• The webinar, held by Ocasio-Cortez's office, provided information on constitutional rights and how to interact with deportation agents, which critics argue is protected free speech.
• Scott supported Trump administration border czar Tom Homan's push for potential prosecution, though Homan lacks prosecutorial authority.
• Legal experts and commentators have criticized Scott and Homan's stance, calling it an attack on constitutional rights and free speech protections.
• Ocasio-Cortez defended her actions as constitutional and requested clarity from the Department of Justice on whether political pressure is influencing legal threats against her.
