Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is under fire for allegedly advising illegal immigrants on how to avoid ICE agents, raising legal concerns.
Former federal prosecutor Jonathan Fahey said her actions may be “skirting the line” and potentially obstructing justice. Trump border official Tom Homan warned that encouraging undocumented immigrants to resist detention may violate federal harboring laws.
AOC hosted a webinar and shared flyers outlining how illegal immigrants can avoid ICE, including advice on refusing entry without a judge-signed warrant. Homan has contacted the DOJ to determine whether her actions constitute criminal “impediment,” which could carry felony consequences. An investigation is underway.
