Border czar Tom Homan once again suggested that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be investigated for impediment in his mass deportation efforts.
As Homan is working at the directive of President Donald Trump to deport a large swath of illegal immigrants from the United States, Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar on her Facebook page advising them what to do should they come in contact with an ICE agent. Since then, the Democratic representative has shared “Know Your Rights” pamphlets on her social media, detailing the Fourth Amendment’s definition of illegal search and seizure in English and Spanish.

“So I‘m asking the Department of Justice — who are the prosecutors and decide who they prosecute and what the standards that prosecution is — I simply say, at what point is that impeding? Because you can you, can call it ‘know your rights’ all you want. We all know the bottom line is the bottom line is how they evade law enforcement,” Homan said on CNN News State of the Union on Sunday. “I hope to God we’re not, you know, educating people to be the next murderer of a college student.”
Homan’s comments referenced Laken Riley, the University of Georgia student, who was killed on campus. Jose Ibarra, 26, has since been convicted and sentenced to life for her murder as an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who was living near campus at the time.
“This is about talking to the attorney general because every attorney general interprets things different. What is your interpretation of impeding, and where’s that line at?” Homan said. “I think it’s the responsible thing to do as the border czar of the United States to make sure the men and women of ICE understand what they can and can’t do.”

Homan also promised to “look into” whether Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) is harboring an illegal immigrant as he claimed. Murphy recently said at an event that someone in his “broader universe, whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to,” is living “at our house above our garage.”
Other areas under the governance of Democratic leaders have clung to their “sanctuary city” status as a way to defend illegal immigrants from being deported.
