Border Czar Tom Homan announced Monday 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.
Ocasio-Cortez is under investigation by the Trump administration for two alleged offenses: employing an undocumented immigrant who subsequently aided 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.
âItâs being looked at (AOC employing illegal alien), canât comment past that. Iâm aware of it, weâve asked ICE to drill in on that case,â Homan said. âAs far as her educating people how to evade ICE arrests, sheâs really educating them on how to avoid prosecution. Because there are statutes on the books when you knowingly hinder your removal, thatâs a crime.â
