Queens, New York – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.Y. He threw a gauntlet at Tom Homan on Friday after the border emperor previously introduced her to the Department of Justice and threatened to give advice to immigrants on how to avoid deportation.
Ocasio-Cortez told attendees at a Queens City Hall event that she is not afraid of the hardline immigrants’ words in the wake of her office, which hosts a “know your rights” webinar in February. Homan suggests that her actions may be illegal and could prevent immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) from pursuing the Trump administration’s deportation.
“Tom Homan I have used my right to free speech to advise people on their constitutional protections, so he said he is going to introduce me to the DOJ. And I say: Come for me, do I look like I care? ” Ocasio-Cortez said to the cheering crowd.

Ocasio-Cortez argued, “There’s nothing illegal about it. If they want to make it illegal, they can bring me in.”
In February, Ocasio-Cortez’s office held a live webinar to advise immigrants about her rights if they came face to face in search of deportation.
It is also a good idea to search for ways to distinguish between the various warrants that are likely to carry when ICE is called and the ICE agent.
That led to Homan, suggesting that New York Democrats could have crossed the line.
“I think I’m working with the Department of Justice. Where is that line they cross?
“All she has to do is read the laws enacted by Congress… because it’s a crime to get into this country illegal.” They said separately about “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“Not only that, but when you embrace and hide and block law enforcement, it’s a felony,” he said. “I say that she’s educating everyone about what she’s doing, she’s constitutional rights. We all know that they have constitutional rights, but what she really does… she’s trying to teach them how to avoid law enforcement.”
Ocasio-Cortez also attacked the Trump administration’s approach to border security on Friday and immigrants, It refers to the deportation of Venezuelan gang members as “authorized incentives.”
“I don’t even want to call them deportation. They are tempted in many situations,” the lawmaker told attendees. “They don’t have a carte blanche to enter. If they want to knock on your door or knock on someone’s door, including the workplace, then “Show me the warrant. Show me the warrant.” And if they don’t show you the warrant, you can say they can come back with the warrant.
Ocasio-Cortez was talking to a packed auditorium filled with hundreds of attendees. Someone who couldn’t sit in the overflow room across from the hall.

Participants gave a warm reception to progressive lawmakers, and one destroyer appeared to be in full support of her legislative agenda and previous district representatives. Many questions from the audience center around local issues, asking for ways to raise minimum wages, improve air quality, and how they plan their efforts to address the Trump administration.
The loudest applause came when Ocasio-Cortez expressed his opposition to the new casino proposed in Citifield. The lawmaker has been approved by the New York City Council, but said that the lawmaker is a state issue and that he is not in the district and has no say in the issue.

The event was mostly peaceful, except for early confusion by protesters who began screaming at Ocasio-Cortez about Gaza’s “genocide.”
“I’m A Medical workers And I want to know what you’re doing about Gaza’s genocide,” protesters began screaming at lawmakers.
“Shame! Shame! Shame!” The audience began screaming at the destroyer. We also managed to hear the “boo” that we could hear before she was ultimately led to security.
