Border Czar Tom Homan said this week that he has contacted the Department of Justice to find out if Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is violating the law by offering guidance to illegal aliens to avoid being deported.
Homan told Fox News during an interview on Thursday night that he contacted the Deputy U.S. Attorney General in response to the webinar that AOC hosted assisting illegal aliens in evading federal immigration officers.
He said he sought guidance on understanding if her actions constituted impeding law enforcement operations.
“So, maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now, but I need the [deputy attorney general] to opine on that, because there’s an impediment, it’s impediment in my opinion, I’m not a prosecutor, but we need some further guidance on that,” he said.
He added that the Trump administration was willing to “take every federal dollar out of” sanctuary cities who fail to comply with federal immigration enforcement.
“We just want to make common sense,” he added. “And sanctuary cities, if they want to step aside, step aside, we’re coming, we’re going to do it for you.”

AOC snapped back with a statement that made a variety of unsubstantiated claims, including suggesting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were “entering the homes of everyday Americans without a warrant.”
“And I am proud to offer civil education to everyday Americans to ensure ICE’s compliance with the law, given the numerous reports of agents providing incorrect paperwork in their attempts to enter and search private homes,” she claimed. “Since Mr. Homan seems to be vaguely familiar with U.S. immigration law, we also remind him that according to Congressional statute, becoming undocumented in the United States is a civil offense and not a criminal one.”
