Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore
(D-NY) is demanding answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi after border czar Tom Homan suggested she could now be under federal investigation for advising illegal aliens on how to respond to visits from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In a letter, Ocasio-Cortez questioned whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) had succumbed to "political pressure" following Homan’s calls to investigate her actions. Homan requested Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove to investigate AOC over efforts to help illegals avoid deportation. However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
Ocasio-Cortez said she never received any formal notice of the inquiry and now demands that Bondi provide her with transparency on the situation.
Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a letter to Bondi:
“I write to request clarity on whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) has yielded to political pressure and attempts to weaponize the agency against elected officials whose speech they disagree with.
Over the past two weeks, ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan has gone on multiple forums threatening political prosecution against me, citing resources I distributed informing my constituents and the American public of their constitutional and legal rights.”

AOC then went on to accuse Homan of weaponizing federal law enforcement against political opponents, claiming it is a violation of her First Amendment rights.
The congresswoman demanded the DOJ respond to her inquiry about whether she or her office was actively under investigation for “executing congressional responsibilities” by March 5.
She further accused Homan of attempting to use [the DOJ] to politically “intimidate” duly elected officials.
As we reported earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez hosted an Instagram Live webinar dubbed “Know Your Rights,” which provided guidance to illegal immigrants on responding to ICE enforcement actions.
During the webinar, Ocasio-Cortez told participants:
“When one of these things [raids] comes to your backyard, you can resist, and when that happens over millions of people, is that you generate enough friction that they cannot go as fast as they want to go.”
