Homan, AOC clash over webinar to help immigrants 'evade' ICE raids: 'I thought I educated her'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Friday clashed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over a webinar she hosted advising migrants about how to handle an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "Let’s pray that she is not ‘educating’ the next murderer of a young college nursing student on how to evade arrest by ICE," Homan told Fox News Digital on Friday. "How many more young women have to be raped, murdered and burned alive until she wakes up?"
Homan had first said on "The Ingraham Angle" that he had emailed the deputy attorney general asking whether Ocasio-Cortez's hosting of a "Know Your Rights with ICE" event on her Facebook page could count as an impediment to federal law enforcement.

"Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts?" Homan said. "If so, what are we going to do about it? Is she crossing the line? So I'm working with the Department of Justice and finding out. Where is that line that they cross? So maybe AOC is going to be going to be in trouble now." During the event, viewers were informed of how to deal with ICE search requests. Migrants were also warned of "ruses" they allege ICE agents employ to get people to comply with searches, while the hosts also touted "trends" in how ICE conducts its searches, which have ramped up in recent weeks under the Trump administration. People were also recommended to record such searches and how to differentiate between different warrants ICE agents are likely to carry.

In comments to Fox News Digital, Homan said that he was asking the Justice Department for their interpretation of the law regarding impeding and obstruction, and that he is "well aware of the Constitution, but I am also aware that DOJ gives legal interpretations on issues like this to ensure ICE acts in accordance of the law."

He then suggested Ocasio-Cortez read Title 8 USC 1324 and 8 USC 1325, "statutes enacted by Congress, of which she is a part of."

"It’s not OK to be in the U.S. illegally. It’s a violation of federal law to enter this country illegally. It is not OK to assist those in the U.S. illegally in furtherance of their illegal entry and unlawful presence. I thought I educated her on this several years ago during congressional testimony.," he said, referencing a viral clash from the first Trump administration at a congressional hearing.

"She can call it ‘advising those who are illegally in the U.S. of their constitutional rights.' But we all know it’s really about evading ICE and how not to get arrested and how not to adhere to a federal judge’s order to leave after receiving due process at great taxpayer expense," he said.

Isn't anyone getting tired of government by threats and intimidation. My town is doing the same thing, and churches are hosting them. An immigrant advocacy group sets up the "know your rights" workshops.
Notaries are there to witness temporary guardian papers so their children won't get dumped in foster care if they encounter ICE.
We raised $1500 so immigration lawyers could do consults.
None of that is against the law.
If Homan is looking for lawbreakers he should check his own party.

What the American people are MORE than tired of, but also disgusted of, is the 10s of millions of ILLEGAL immigrants living in our nation with many, many, many of those illegal immigrants also being lawbreaking criminals. If the American people were on your side of the illegal immigration debate, then Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party would have won the November 2024 elections. Face the hard truth that the majority of Americans strongly disagree with the position of the Democratic Party in regard to illegal immigration.

I don't believe what Trump says about immigration.
Let's face it, his track record for truth, verified by multiple sources, is minimal.
Immigrants are statistically more law abiding than the general population.
Immigrants waiting for their asylum cases to be heard have temporary status.
Refugees have protected status.
Tens of millions is an exaggeration.
Dictators and demagogues create scapegoats to provide a reason for voter discontent, capitalizing on hatred and fear.
When the immigrants are gone you'll probably still be a paycheck away from bankruptcy--with no safety net to protect you.

It isn't just our President but also real facts with real numbers about the massive amounts of illegal immigration that you appear to be denying. Also, I will say it again and again and again until the Democratic voters all recognize the truth. IF KAMALA HARRIS AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY was speaking facts and truth in regard to illegal immigration, then the Democratic Party would have WON THE ELECTION.

Also, my wife and I have been able to save plenty of money. I am NOT anywhere close to bankruptcy.

That was a general comment, not directed at anyone. I am glad you are comfortable.
I think it's harder for younger people.

Oh no. This government is actually enforcing laws. This border czar is actually doing the job correctly.

So Eric Adams expressing his appreciation (or fear of reprisal) to Trump by opening up Rikers Island to ICE is "doing the job correctly?" A compromised mayor turned snitch?
I guess Adams thinks he's getting off easy---all.he has to do is unleash a reign of terror in NYC...when the same result cost the president $100 million.

He's wearing golden handcuffs. Obey Trump's every wish and stay a free man. That's why 6 US attorneys refused to dismiss, with one caving after Trump said he'd fire all six. Real news. Listen to.the attorneys speak.

It's all the crafted colorful hyperbolic language involved that makes me wonder where it comes from. All that matters in my opinion is that Homan and ICE get the job done. And nothing and no one should be thwarting those efforts. Anyone standing in the way should be fired/replaced. Including AOC. It's pretty silly to be agast at the idea that those who cooperate keep their jobs/positions, and those who don't are cut loose.

Could be a felony...

I dont know enough about ICE and their legal requirements regarding illegal immigrants. But if what she posted is correct and ICE does have to have a warrant then I think she's well within her rights to inform people of this.

Im hard core anti-illegal immigration. But I'm also a believer in a justice system which follows the requirements of law. And if ICE needs warrants etc then they should get one. Period. And if AC is correct then Homan is barking up the wrong tree with trying to get Justice to.look at her. Informing someone of their legal rights is NEVER obstructionist.

Now I do know she is pro illegals. And I know she is trying to make ICEs job harder. But her motives are irrelevant when providing people information about their rights.

I dknt think she is. Advising someone of their Constitutional rights is never wrong. Now if she is telling them to run, hide, lie etc then that would be different. That would be impending ICE. But letting people know they are not required to allow ICE into their place without a warrant etc, that's certainly not breaking the law. ICE should be held to the legal standard. Get a warrant then you can go.in and raid the place for all I care and send the illegals packing.

When the immigrants are gone you'll probably still be a paycheck away from bankruptcy--with no safety net to protect you.

I just caught this and I honestly wanted to respond.

If you realize that there are likely a great many people only a paycheck away from bankruptcy in America, (so many in fact, that you're certain that you are talking to at least one financially despondent person in any random online conversation to be found) plus you're fully cognizant they have no safety net for their own future and are literally only a paycheck away from the park bench.

These are the things expressed in the post as being common in society and fully understood by all sides.

Now that being in the full light of day, why do you think our nation can afford even 10,000 immigrants from other countries? To feed, to house, to provide medical care to and give jobs to - when our own citizens don't have employment, prosperity, or hope for a future that isn't scratching in the dirt.

We are spending money like water and bankrupting the country. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye anymore.

Trump isn't the bad guy....we should start making sure Americans have a future.
