AOC is officially in serious hot legal water with the Trump Administration for her open defiance of immigration law on two occasions.
Border Czar Tom Homan appeared on the Benny Johnson show on Monday and announced that the notorious New York congresswoman was under investigation for two crimes: employing an illegal alien on her staff and helping other illegals evade ICE.
“It’s being looked at (AOC employing illegal alien), can’t comment past that,” Homan responded. “I’m aware of it, we’ve asked ICE to drill in on that case.”
“As far as her educating people how to evade ICE arrests, she’s really educating them on how to avoid prosecution,” he continued. “Because there are statutes on the books when you knowingly hinder your removal, that’s a crime.”
“We have instructed ICE to start prosecuting these cases.”

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported, Homan announced on Fox News’s “Ingraham Angle” back in February that he had sent an email to the Deputy Attorney General asking the department to investigate AOC. This came after AOC proudly announced that she was holding webinars to teach illegal aliens how to avoid ICE agents in New York City.
“At what level is that impediment?” Homan asked. “I’m not an attorney… Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts?”
“If so, what are we going to do about it? Is she crossing the line? I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out where is that line that they cross.”
In addition, The Gateway Pundit reported back in March Diego de la Vega, an illegal alien who worked for AOC as a deputy communications director after serving on her campaign in 2021, decided that he no longer felt safe living in America and decided to self-deport to Colombia.
De la Vega’s self-deportation came in December, one month after President Trump won the presidential election in November. Since Trump took office, border crossings have dropped to levels not seen in 25 years.
For her part, AOC had only positive things to say about De la Vega.
“Diego is amazing,” Ocasio-Cortez told Migrant Insider. “We love him.”
