HuffPost
The Democratic lawmaker hit back at Tom Homan after he warned of "impediment" on Fox News.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) fired back at Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s border czar, after he suggested that she could be “in trouble” for advice she is giving to immigrants if they are targeted in one of Homan’s raids.
“I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general,” Homan told Laura Ingraham on Fox News Thursday. “At what level is that impediment. Is that impediment?”
Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar on immigrants’ rights and posted information on social media.
“Believe it or not, in America EVERYONE has rights,” she wrote on X. “Citizen or not, we all should know our rights to protect ourselves and others from illegal search & seizure.”
She included graphics reminding people that they don’t have to allow authorities into their home without a warrant, and that they have a right to remain silent when questioned.
