Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is back with the dramatics — this time at a town hall in Queens, where she basically dared former ICE Director Tom Homan to come slap cuffs on her for giving advice to illegal immigrants on how to dodge deportation.
In her words: “Come for me. Do I look like I care?” Girl, calm down. This isn’t a Netflix drama — it’s federal law we’re talking about.
🚨AOC, who taught criminal aliens how to evade ICE, sends a message to Border Czar Tom Homan:
“Said he was gonna threaten to refer me to DOJ because I used free speech to advise of their constitutional protections… Come for me."

Tom Homan, who’s not exactly known for playing nice with lawbreakers, wasn’t amused. He told Fox News he’s already talking to the Department of Justice about whether AOC crossed the line from “free speech” into “obstructing immigration enforcement.” Spoiler alert: there’s a difference.
The beef started after AOC hosted a so-called “Know Your Rights” webinar back in February, where she told illegal immigrants how to record ICE officers, demand warrants, and pretty much stall any effort to deport them — you know, the kind of stuff ICE was literally created to handle.
Homan’s take? “Sounds a lot less like education and a whole lot more like helping people break the law.”
And he’s not wrong. Teaching people how to hide from federal agents isn’t exactly a civic duty — it’s more like interfering with law enforcement. Which, for the record, can be a felony.
But AOC didn’t stop there. She also decided to call the deportation of Venezuelan gang members — wait for it — “sanctioned kidnappings.” Yep, you read that right. According to her, arresting violent gang members without a warrant is somehow worse than letting them roam free in our neighborhoods.
Meanwhile, polls continue to show that one of President Trump’s strongest support bases is everyday Americans who actually want the border enforced and criminals off the streets.
So while AOC is out here daring federal agents to arrest her and calling ICE actions “kidnappings,” most of America is saying, “Yes, please. Do your job.”
Bottom line: If AOC keeps poking the bear, she might just find out the DOJ isn’t as impressed by town hall theatrics as her TikTok fans are.
