Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has expressed apprehensions regarding a potential Department of Justice investigation arising from her involvement in a February immigration webinar.
The event, designed to educate immigrants about their rights, provided legal guidance on how to interact with ICE, including the advice to refrain from opening doors without a judicial warrant.
Critics, such as Tom Homan, who was appointed by Trump as the border czar, assert that it has fostered evasion of law enforcement. Ocasio-Cortez refutes any allegations of misconduct, maintaining that she acted within her First Amendment rights and labeling any investigation as politically driven.
She has reached out to the DOJ for clarification, alleging that Homan is employing intimidation tactics. The DOJ has yet to verify if an investigation is in progress.
