Tom Homan, former Border Czar, criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Fox News for advising illegal migrants on their constitutional rights, accusing her of misunderstanding immigration laws. He emphasized that illegal entry is a federal crime and urged AOC to review the relevant statutes.
The tension between them dates back to a 2019 hearing on family separation, where Homan corrected AOC’s claims about him authoring the policy. He warned that her advice could encourage migrants to evade law enforcement and endanger public safety.
Homan also referenced the tragic murder of Laken Riley by an individual in the country illegally, suggesting AOC’s advice could lead to more crimes. He criticized her “Know Your Rights With ICE” event for potentially undermining federal enforcement.
This clash highlights the ongoing debate on immigration policy, with Homan advocating for strict enforcement, while AOC focuses on constitutional rights and fair treatment.
