Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tore apart White House border czar Tom Homan on Friday after he questioned whether she was “impeding” deportation efforts by informing her constituents of their constitutional and legal rights.
The congresswoman — as part of a town hall-style event in New York City — claimed that Homan threatened to refer her to the Justice Department after she gave a “Know Your Rights with ICE” webinar to those concerned about President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.
“And he may want to do it again today and to that I say, come for me, you’re going to have to come for me,” she declared. “Do I look like I care?”
Her comments arrive on the same day that Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) responded to Homan’s “chilling” suggestion that he could be arrested for issuing guidance to state employees on what to do when confronted by federal immigration agents.
Homan, when asked about Evers’ guidance outside the White House on Thursday, answered, “Wait ’til you see what’s coming.”
