Feds Probe AOC For Employing Illegal Alien, Helping Migrants Evade ICE
Border Czar Tom Homan announced that he has officially opened a federal investigation into Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over allegations that she employed an undocumented immigrant on her staff and assisted other illegal aliens in evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
The Trump administration is investigating Ocasio-Cortez for two alleged offenses: employing an undocumented immigrant who subsequently assisted another individual in evading ICE. In an interview with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, Homan stated that he has instructed the agency to pursue legal action against her.
“It’s being looked at (AOC employing illegal alien), can’t comment past that. I’m aware of it, we’ve asked ICE to drill in on that case,” Homan said. “As far as her educating people how to evade ICE arrests, she’s really educating them on how to avoid prosecution. Because there are statutes on the books when you knowingly hinder your removal, that’s a crime.”
Johnson questioned how an undocumented immigrant could have secured employment in Congress and potentially gained access to classified information.
“It is not possible,” Homan stressed, emphasizing that the congresswoman will be held accountable if such claims are accurate.
In March, Diego de la Vega voluntarily left the U.S. amid intensified deportation efforts by the Trump administration, citing concerns for his safety. He became politically active in 2010 when he supported the DREAM Act, legislation that sought to create a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.
Although the bill narrowly failed in the Senate by five votes, de la Vega, despite his undocumented status, worked as a “special assistant” to former Harlem Assemblymember Robert J. Rodriguez and interned for Representative Carolyn Maloney (D), the report added.
In 2022, de la Vega was appointed Deputy Communications Director by Ocasio-Cortez. In an interview with Migrant Insider, AOC praised him, saying, “Diego is amazing.”
Homan sent an email to the deputy attorney general requesting an investigation into Ocasio-Cortez.
That came shortly after reports emerged that the New York Democrat was hosting seminars teaching undocumented immigrants how to avoid ICE enforcement.
Following Homan’s email to the DOJ, AOC revealed that the Trump administration had yet to answer her requests about whether she is under federal investigation.
“I’ve asked them, they haven’t responded to me,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News. “But you know, I was once again fully using the First Amendment to inform people of their constitutional rights. They say a lot of things, but I’ve written a formal letter, and they won’t respond.”
The congresswoman organized a “Know Your Rights” webinar earlier this year, in which lawyers advised illegal immigrants on how to respond to interactions with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities.
The internet forum, held in both English and Spanish, provided legal advice and distributed papers, including one declaring that immigrants “do not have to open the door” for ICE officials unless they had a judge-signed warrant.
Ocasio-Cortez’s office also supplied information on how to receive pro bono legal assistance and urged undocumented people to sign privacy release forms, which would allow her office to interfere in deportation proceedings.
Ocasio-Cortez has forcefully denied any allegations that her actions were inappropriate, labeling the prospect of a federal inquiry “politically motivated.”
Ocasio-Cortez is also under fire as her district has decayed into a crime-ridden cesspool, and voters are furious with her.
Since she was first elected in 2019, major crime has risen by a staggering 70 percent in her Bronx/Queens district.
“The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous ‘Market of Sweethearts’ human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period,” The Post said in its report.
“Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft,” the outlet continued.
The 115th precinct, which is also in the representative’s district, saw a whopping increase of 85 percent in major crimes, and her constituents are frustrated with their celebrity representative.
“She’s not doing s–t. She doesn’t live in the neighborhood, she doesn’t care,” Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez, a former supporter of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, said.
