NextImg:Fox News Legal Analyst Pours Cold Water All Over Trump Border Czar's AOC Threat
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley criticized Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, for suggesting that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) could face prosecution for teaching undocumented people their legal rights.

“Such a prosecution would be an assault on free speech rights,” Turley posted on X. “While AOC has never been a defender of free speech, principle demands something more from the rest of us who value the First Amendment.”

“Just as VP Vance offered a powerful defense of free speech in Europe, this baseless threat undermines the high ground achieved in Munich,” he added. (In a stunning speech in Germany on Friday, Vice President JD Vance chastised European allies, accusing their governments of suppressing free speech.)

Homan and Ocasio-Cortez have traded barbs in recent days after the New York Democrat hosted a “Know Your Rights” webinar to teach immigrants how they can protect themselves if they are targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

Homan, a leader of Trump’s mass deportation plans, suggested on Thursday that Ocasio-Cortez could get “in trouble” for doing so.

“Is she crossing the line?” he asked on Fox News. “So, I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out.”

The lawmaker didn’t appear too concerned, firing back: “Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start.”

Homan doubled down on Monday, accusing the Democrat of trying to “educate people on how they evade law enforcement.”

“I’ve asked DOJ, where is that line of impediment, of interference?” he said on Fox News.

Everyone has rights under the Constitution, regardless of their immigration status, and it is not illegal to tell people about those rights.

“Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights,” Ocasio-Cortez posted on X Monday night. “He can threaten me with jail & call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.”
