- Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is facing criticism for purportedly guiding undocumented immigrants on evading ICE agents, which has sparked legal issues.
Former federal prosecutor Jonathan Fahey indicated that her conduct might be ‘borderline’ and could possibly impede justice. Trump border official Tom Homan cautioned that promoting undocumented immigrants to defy detention could breach federal harboring statutes.
AOC conducted a webinar and distributed flyers detailing methods for undocumented immigrants to evade ICE, including guidance on denying entry without a warrant signed by a judge. Homan has reached out to the DOJ to assess whether her actions may be classified as criminal ‘impediment,’ which could result in felony charges. An investigation is currently in progress.
