'Do I Look Like I Care?': AOC Shreds Trump's Border Czar In Blunt Free Speech Reminder

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?”

Homan, when asked about Evers’ guidance outside the White House on Thursday, answered, “Wait ’til you see what’s coming.”

Evers accused Republicans of lying about the guidance — similar to recommendations made by Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) earlier this year — in order to push “misinformation” and fuel what he described as a “fake controversy of their own creation.”

His response comes about one week after the FBI arrested a Milwaukee judge over allegations that she helped a man evade immigration agents.

Homan has previously slammed Ocasio-Cortez for her advice to immigrants, guidance that First Amendment advocacy groups have called “plainly lawful.”

Homan — in a Fox News appearance in February — said he sent a letter to the Justice Department to ask about the congresswoman’s efforts, questioning whether she was “crossing the line” and could “be in trouble.”

In a separate appearance on the network, he declared that Ocasio-Cortez was “trying to teach” people “how to evade law enforcement.”

Ocasio-Cortez would later write to Attorney General Pam Bondi to inquire about Homan “threatening political prosecution” against her.

Ocasio-Cortez, in remarks at her town hall, referred to those asking how to “protect” each other in response to Trump’s policies.

“We do it by exercising and using our constitutional rights. Our rights are, ‘use it or lose it,’ so we need to use it,” she stressed.

“And we need to challenge them so don’t let them intimidate you into thinking that you’re doing something wrong by telling people what their actual legal constitutional rights are. There’s nothing wrong about it and there’s nothing illegal about it.”

She continued, “And if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me. That’s how I feel about it.”
