Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan has raised serious concerns regarding Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and her involvement in what some view as aiding illegal immigration.
During a recent interview, Homan suggested that AOC’s actions could warrant criminal charges, particularly in light of revelations about her office advising illegal migrants on how to avoid deportation.
Tom Homan outraged, suggests possible legal action against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for impeding ICE:

Homan, a staunch advocate for border security and immigration enforcement, did not mince words when addressing the issue. “This is obstruction,” Homan stated. “If she is actively helping illegal aliens evade law enforcement, she is complicit in breaking federal immigration laws.” His remarks come after reports surfaced detailing a live webinar hosted by AOC’s office, which provided guidance to illegal immigrants on avoiding deportation.
According to Fox News, Ocasio-Cortez’s office organized an online seminar in which immigration advocates coached migrants on how to navigate the deportation process. The session included information on legal rights, sanctuary cities, and tactics to resist federal enforcement efforts. Critics argue that such actions cross a dangerous line, potentially undermining national security and emboldening illegal migration.
Potential Legal Implications
Homan’s statement raises questions about whether AOC could face legal consequences for her involvement. Federal law prohibits individuals from knowingly harboring or shielding illegal immigrants from deportation. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1324, anyone who aids or abets unlawful immigration could be subject to prosecution.
“This isn’t about political ideology; it’s about the law,” Homan emphasized. “No member of Congress is above the law, and if they’re facilitating illegal immigration, they should be held accountable.”
While Democrats have long defended their stance on immigration as a humanitarian issue, conservatives argue that AOC’s actions amount to obstruction of law enforcement. Homan’s remarks align with concerns from border officials and legal experts who believe that such efforts directly contradict federal mandates designed to protect national sovereignty.
The Far-Left’s Open Border Agenda
AOC has been a vocal advocate for dismantling ICE and defunding border enforcement agencies. She has repeatedly denounced immigration laws as “inhumane” and called for amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. However, critics contend that her policies and rhetoric have only worsened the crisis at the southern border.
The Biden administration’s failure to enforce immigration laws has emboldened lawmakers like Ocasio-Cortez to push the envelope further, conservatives argue. The live webinar hosted by her office is just one example of how the radical left prioritizes illegal immigrants over law-abiding Americans.
Homan and other law enforcement officials have long warned that providing legal loopholes for illegal migrants only fuels the crisis. The number of illegal border crossings has surged under the Biden administration, and sanctuary policies promoted by left-wing politicians have made it harder for ICE to do its job.
Calls for Accountability
As the border crisis continues to spiral, many are calling for lawmakers like Ocasio-Cortez to be held accountable for their role in exacerbating the problem. The question now is whether federal authorities will take action against those who actively obstruct immigration enforcement.
“Congress should be investigating this,” Homan stated. “If we’re serious about enforcing immigration laws, then we need to take a hard look at what’s happening here.”
Conservative lawmakers have echoed similar concerns, with some calling for congressional inquiries into politicians who interfere with immigration enforcement. If AOC’s actions are found to violate federal law, it could open the door for legal challenges or even potential criminal prosecution.
The Bigger Picture
Homan’s warning is a stark reminder of the ongoing battle over immigration in the United States. While the left continues to push for open borders and leniency, conservatives argue that national security and the rule of law must take precedence. AOC’s efforts to shield illegal immigrants from deportation raise serious legal and ethical concerns, and the implications of her actions may not be ignored much longer.
With the 2024 elections approaching, immigration remains a top issue for voters. Many Americans are growing increasingly frustrated with the Biden administration’s weak enforcement policies and the radical left’s efforts to undermine national security. If Homan’s concerns gain traction, AOC could find herself facing legal scrutiny that could further expose the consequences of the left’s reckless immigration agenda.
