Tom Homan confirms federal investigation into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over alleged employment of criminal immigrant

07/04/2025 / By Laura Harris

Border czar Tom Homan confirmed that a federal investigation is underway into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over allegations that her office employed a criminal illegal immigrant and advised them on evading ICE.
Homan formally referred Ocasio-Cortez to the Department of Justice (DOJ), citing concerns that her actions, including hosting webinars for undocumented immigrants, may constitute obstruction of federal immigration enforcement.
Homan said AOC’s guidance on avoiding ICE may cross legal lines, stating that knowingly hindering deportation or assisting someone in doing so is a prosecutable federal offense.
Homan instructed ICE to begin prosecuting cases where individuals resist deportation orders or receive help doing so, suggesting that elected officials who aid such efforts could face consequences.
Homan criticized New York’s sanctuary policies and warned that federal funding could be pulled if local governments continue to obstruct immigration enforcement, citing public and officer safety concerns.

“Border Czar” Tom Homan has confirmed that a federal investigation is underway involving Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) (D-NY) following allegations that her congressional office employed a criminal illegal immigrant and that she advised the individual on how to evade immigration authorities.

In a viral video clip from an interview on “The Benny Show,” host Benny Johnson questioned Homan about reports surrounding the New York congresswoman. “How is somebody allowed to be a criminal alien in this country and then go work in Congress where you have access to classified material?” Johnson asked, referencing an unnamed individual allegedly employed by Ocasio-Cortez’s office. “Then AOC has gone on and obviously taught publicly illegal aliens how to avoid ICE.” (Related: Justice Department sues Facebook for hiring immigrants over qualified Americans.)

Homan acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations, stating that “it is not possible.”

“I know that’s being looked at – I can’t comment past that. I’m aware of it. We’ve asked ICE to drill in on that case,” Homan said. Homan did not provide details about the identity of the individual or the nature of the alleged criminal background, but he did underscore that Ocasio-Cortez’s public advocacy on immigration enforcement could potentially cross legal boundaries.

He added that his office has instructed ICE to begin pursuing criminal charges in cases where individuals interfere with or resist deportation orders.

“We have instructed ICE to start prosecuting these cases. If you don’t want to open the door, and if we have a final order of removal, if you don’t want to participate and get travel documents for your home nation, you take steps to hinder your own removal – that’s a crime. You’ll be prosecuted. So she can claim she’s educating people about constitutional rights; I’d argue she’s educating many people on how to be prosecuted. And you’re going to see that happening.”

Homan refers Ocasio-Cortez to DOJ over alleged efforts to help illegal immigrants evade ICE

The confirmation came after Homan formally referred Ocasio-Cortez to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in March for hosting online webinars that helped undocumented immigrants avoid ICE.

“I sent an email today to Deputy Attorney General. I’m not an attorney. I’m not a prosecutor. Is that an impediment? Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? If so, what are we going to do about it? Is she crossing the line? I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out where is that line that they cross,” Homan said during his appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” with host Laura Ingraham in February.

“If we have to take every federal dollar out of the city, we’ll do it,” he added, referencing New York City’s sanctuary policies. “This is about public safety. This is about community safety. Knowingly releasing a public safety back in the public, it’s just stupid. You’re putting the public at great risk. You’re putting our officers at great risk. You’re even putting the illegal alien at great risk because anything can happen on arrest on the street.”
