Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said during a recent interview that illegal aliens were among her constituents.
The socialist lawmaker made the remarks in an interview late last week on NPR’s “Morning Edition” when asked about Border Czar Tom Homan’s recent remarks about her advising illegal aliens on how to avoid federal immigration authorities.
“I was informing all of my constituents of their constitutional protections and, in particular, their constitutional protections against illegal search and seizure in the United States,” she claimed.
NPR noted that Homan was upset over AOC’s remarks because she was giving advice to illegal aliens on how to continue violating America’s laws.
When asked point blank if that is what she was doing, AOC responded: “I was giving advice to all of my constituents, yeah.”
Homan reached out to the Department of Justice to seek guidance on whether what AOC was doing constituted a crime.
She said that she has not heard from the DOJ, but she plans on reaching out to inquire about the matter.
When asked what she would ask the DOJ, AOC said: “There is a member of the Trump administration who is threatening and seeks to open an inquiry, and are you going to do it?”
She claimed that the Trump administration was “bluffing” and that it was important to call it out.
“I think that this is what authoritarians do. I think this is what kleptocracies do,” she claimed. “They rely on the illusion of power.”
