Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking if she is under federal investigation for informing people of their rights on Thursday. The congresswoman released the letter publicly on Friday.
Ocasio-Cortez’s letter follows public statements by White House border czar Tom Homan that the congresswoman should be investigated for hosting an online “know your rights” seminar to inform the public of their rights when confronted by immigration officers.
“I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general,” Homan said on Fox News on Feb. 13. “At what level is that impediment? Is that impediment? I’m not an attorney; I’m not a prosecutor. Is that impediment? Is that impeding our law enforcement efforts? If so, what are we gonna do about it? Is she crossing the line? So, I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out. Where is that line that they cross? So, maybe AOC’s gonna be in trouble now.”
It is not known whether Homan actually sent an email to the Justice Department or, if he did, what he asked in it.
