    “You Can’t Intimidate Me”: Tom Homan Shuts Down AOC in Epic Fashion, Tells Her Arrest Is Still on the Table [WATCH]

    In the wake of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) letting loose on him in a ridiculous video, Trump Administration Border Czar Tom Homan informed the woke New York Democrat that he wasn’t intimidated by her threats and that the arrests that need to be made will be made, regardless of whether she freaks out or not.

    As background, in an absurd video that she published to Instagram on Saturday, May 10, AOC declared that she would go after Homan if he arrested any of the Democrats involved in storming the ICE facility in Newark, NJ. She said, “You lay a finger on someone – on Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the representatives that were there – you lay a finger on them, we’re going to have a problem.”

    Continuing in that ridiculous video, AOC insisted that it was not assaulting federal agents that was the issue, but rather the potential that they might face the legal consequences of their actions. She snapped, “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 Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem.”

    Tom Homan responded to that fire and bluster when he spoke to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tapper’s show, “The Lead,” on Thursday, May 15. During his appearance on the show, Homan refused to back down from his position that the three lawmakers could be arrested for storming the facility. He also painted her attempt at intimidation as ridiculous in the extreme.

    Beginning with that dismissal of AOC’s claims, Homan told Tapper, “First of all, you can’t intimidate me. Come on. Give me a break.” He then commented on his career in the Border Patrol, saying, “I was wearing a green uniform, Border Patrol agent for five years before she was even born. I had more than three decades enforcing immigration law before she became a member of Congress,”



    Continuing, Homan noted that Trump’s policies are undoubtedly successful, saying, “I worked for six presidents. I‘ve seen policies. I‘ve seen hundreds of policies. Some worked, some didn‘t. But you can‘t deny the success of the Trump administration when it comes to border security. Again, the most secure border in the history of this nation.”

    Turning back to the matter of the Democrat members of Congress who attacked the ICE facility, Homan drew a clear distinction between just not liking ICE and actually attacking agents and impeding their work. He said, beginning that point, “I’ve said from day one, and she knows this: You can not support ICE. Shame on you. You can support sanctuary cities. Shame on you. But you can‘t cross the line.”

    Getting to what the other side of the line is, Homan told Tapper, “You can‘t knowingly impede ICE law enforcement officers. That is a felony. You can‘t harbor and conceal, knowingly harbor and conceal illegal aliens from ICE. That is a felony. And you certainly can‘t commit criminal trespass.”

    And, returning to the matter of slamming AOC, he said, “You know, and as far as New York, her district, this administration has done more to protect her district than she has. The number of criminal aliens we took off the streets of New York made her community much safer. She ought to be thanking the members of this administration, the men and women of ICE, who protect this country and make her community safer.”

    He concluded by noting that AOC obviously doesn’t care about her community, as Trump has done a great deal for it. He said, “So, you know, it‘s politics over public safety. It‘s just ridiculous. She ought to love her community more than she hates Trump, because we‘re doing a lot to protect her community.”
