The lengths to which the Trump administration goes to tackle illegal immigration are nothing short of impressive. Between ICE raids and targeting sanctuary cities, they’re making it clear they’re not playing around with border security. Notably, Tom Homan, the administration’s border czar, has called into question the legality of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent venture into hosting a webinar aimed at helping illegal immigrants dodge deportation. It seems that AOC’s attempts at civics education might have crossed a line—at least in the eyes of those who uphold the law.
Homan’s concerns were not just a passing thought. On a Fox News segment, he made it abundantly clear that he’s not going to let this slide. Instead, he’s actively collaborating with the Department of Justice to investigate whether Ocasio-Cortez’s actions might constitute some kind of legal infringement. Homan’s inquiries into what constitutes “impeding” law enforcement efforts suggest that AOC might find herself in a bit of hot water if they decide to pursue this further.

His approach to the issue is reminiscent of a detective on a mission. When questioned about the potential for prosecution, Homan didn’t blink. He conveyed a genuine concern over how far the line goes when it comes to impeding the enforcement of immigration laws. It’s as if he’s pleading with the Justice Department to clarify exactly when one can be held accountable for obstructing the enforcement of our country’s laws—seriously, who needs lawyers when you have Tom Homan asking the tough questions?
In her defense, Ocasio-Cortez claimed her intentions were merely educational, aiming to inform about U.S. laws. However, Homan sees right through that façade. He argued that instead of providing learning opportunities, her webinar seemed to prioritize teaching individuals how to sidestep the law. After all, Homan has been in the immigration game long enough to know the difference between genuine civics education and a tutorial on evasion tactics.
While there remains uncertainty regarding any possible legal consequences for Ocasio-Cortez—one might assume she’ll skate by without punishment—the Trump administration’s seriousness about the issue of illegal immigration should send shivers down the spines of those who support more lenient policies. The message is clear: the administration won’t just be pursuing those who are in the country unlawfully, but also those who help them do so. So, as the Department of Justice reviews Homan’s concerns, it’s worth remembering that no one is above the law, not even Congresswomen who fancy themselves as rebellious activists.
