In an epic move, Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, publicly humiliated Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for warning of a significant “problem” if Trump moved to charge her fellow DEmocrats for their crimes.
As background, Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) physically assaulted a federal agent while storming the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, on May 9. Dramatic footage of the event shows McIver screaming profanities and threats, including “I touch whoever I want motherf*cker!” while attacking the agents.
Beginning her controversial remarks, AOC stated, “And now what DHS is trying to say again, they’re using public intimidation because they know that they cannot come for us all. They know that they are not, that they cannot come for us all. And recently, what they said is that DHS is allegedly looking into arresting members of Congress who were showing up for their legal and constitutional obligation to conduct oversight.”
Continuing her dubious line of reasoning, Cortez said, “If anyone’s breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress, it’s the Department of Homeland Security. It’s people like Tom Holman and Secretary Christy, no, you lay a finger on someone on representative, Bonnie Watson Coleman on representative, or any of the representatives that were there, you lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem, because the people who are breaking the law are the people who are not abiding by it.”
Finalyl concluding her remarks, she whined, “And it is enshrined in the law that members of Congress who show up to ice and CBP facilities are required to be granted access, legally required to be granted access, and they legally cannot be inhibited from accessing these facilities to conduct their constitutional obligation to to investigate and conduct oversight. So if Christy Noem wants to break the law, that’s on her, but it sure as hell is not someone like Representative Robert Menendez that needs to be arrested.”
Beginning his takedown, Tom Homan said, “Remember, just a couple of weeks ago, AOC went on social media saying, if we put a finger on any of your co-workers who were Congress people that were at our Newark facility, there would be consequences. Well, guess what? We did it. I’m waiting on the consequences.
Continuing to roast AOC he said, “But you know it, mayor’s no different look we I’ve said from day one, you can, you cannot cooperate ice, if that’s what you want to do, but you can’t get in our way, and you can’t, you can’t impede our efforts, or you cross that line, we’ll seek prosecution.”

Concluding his epic rebuke, the border czar said, “As far as the belonging fund that he’s supporting, I have my own belonging fund. We can give housing, food and pre medical care and ICE detention, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do in Nashville. We’re going to flood the zone with agents, multi-agency, FBI, DEA, ICE, US Marshals, and we’re going to flood the zone.”
