President Trump’s supporters are sounding the alarm after a disturbing video surfaced of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) abusing her platform to incite Democrats to obstruct ICE’s critical mission of securing our borders by detaining illegal immigrants. AOC shamelessly doubled down, defending rogue members of Congress who brazenly broke the law by trespassing into an ICE detention center without authorization.
In the viral video, dropped on May 11, 2025, AOC stood up for her lawbreaking colleagues who, alongside a New Jersey mayor, stormed an ICE facility in New Jersey on May 9, 2025, which was a blatant show of disrespect for law and order. Adding fuel to the fire, AOC had the audacity to claim the Department of Homeland Security was overreacting to the illegal stunt and even hurled direct threats at border czar Tom Homan and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
Starting off her absurd rant, AOC argued that the Department of Homeland Security was using “public intimidation,” saying that she believed DHS had resorted to this tactic “because they know that they cannot come for us all.”
Continuing her wild claims, the New York Democrat whined, “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. If anyone’s breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress, it’s the Department of Homeland Security.”
Still not done, she took wild swings at Trump’s border Csar and his DHS head, “It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Christy Noem, 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’re going to have a problem.”
Carrying on with her rant, AOC argued that DHS could not arrest members of Congress “because the people who are breaking the law are the people who are not abiding by it, 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.”
Concluding her screed, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez threatened Secretary Noem again, whining, “If Christy Noem wants to break the law, that’s on her.” She added, “But it sure as hell is not someone like Representative Robert Menendez that needs to be arrested. Okay?”

Responding to AOC’s wild allegations, conservative author John Strand fired back on X, saying, “WOW: AOC is urging Democrats to break into ICE detention centers, claiming it is their ‘legal & constitutional right’ and that DHS can’t ‘come for us all.'”
Strand slammed AOC for “inciting crime” and called for his audience to push for her arrest, saying, “If you’re totally fed up with this lawlessness, ReTweet this: ARREST AOC!” In response, commenters expressed their frustration with the woke representative, with the user Jeffrey Tipton writing, “Arrest AOC now for inciting lawbreaking and violence.” Another user chimed in, “She is a coward, talks a lot of crap, but won’t cross the line that would damage her politically.
