| ¡Adiós! AOC Aide, an Illegal Immigrant, Self-Deports to Colombia |
| 2025-03-08 |
| [WFB] An illegal immigrant who served as deputy communications director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has fled the United States for Colombia, saying he finally has "freedom of movement." Diego de la Vega, who arrived in the United States from Ecuador at age seven and overstayed his visitor's visa, began working for Ocasio-Cortez in October 2022, according to his LinkedIn. Last December, de la Vega left the United States and relocated to Bogotá with his wife, another illegal immigrant, the Substack "Migrant Insider" reported. Ocasio-Cortez praised her former aide on Wednesday, saying he was "amazing" and that "we love him." De la Vega's self-deportation came soon after Donald Trump won the presidential election in November. Trump's administration has ramped up immigration enforcement, and migrant encounters at the southern border have dropped to the lowest level since 2017. A total of 42,048 illegal migrants were removed from the United States between January 21 and February 18, according to Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen. De la Vega said in the interview that he was "illegalized" in the United States. In Colombia, by contrast, he has "freedom of movement" that is "incredibly satisfying." It is unclear how Ocasio-Cortez's office handled de la Vega's employment status, including whether he or the office paid Social Security taxes on his behalf. De la Vega, though, was barred from working in Congress due to his status as a DACA recipient, according to Migrant Insider. De la Vega told Migrant Insider that he "lived in fear" because of his illegal status, though he also said he "had a pretty good childhood in New York." He suggested that he may return to the United States at some point, though he said that may not be for "many years." |

| #14 Memory serves that this was known shortly after he started working for AOC, but was untouchable as long Braindead Brandon was still crapping himself in the fake WH. |

| #11 Look, she's a Democratic Congress critter. As such, such trivialities as Federal law do not apply to her. That's why she can hire an illegal alien, increase her net worth by millions, etc. |

| #10 The score would drop like a rock as conversation with her ensues. "Duct tape", he said, apparently at random. Objectively speaking, she has a nice rack. But she also has the crazy eye. You have been warned. It is unclear how Ocasio-Cortez's office handled de la Vega's employment status, including whether he or the office paid Social Security taxes on his behalf. Not paying federal taxes is a crime. Worth looking into, if only for the chaos and bad publicity it would generate. Actual charges would be sprinkles on top. |

| #7 Foreign National in charge of congress member's communications? Knowingly hired illegal immigrant? How did a nobody illegal seven year old navigate the system to get hitched to AOC in '22? Lots of questions. Lots of dirty open secrets. |

| #3 /\ Absolutely amazing how that happens. |

| #2 AOC should be more worried about the discussions about having Musk look into congress/senate folk worth way more than their salary after a few years in DC. She was bankrupt when she got in and in the few years she's been in Congress she's now worth about $20+ million. |

| #1 I look forward to the day that conservative commentators STOP asserting that AOC is somehow "hot". She's a Waffle House 6, on a good day. |
