(Townhall)—Border Czar Tom Homan announced on Monday that he formally launched a federal investigation into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for reportedly employing an illegal immigrant on her staff and helping other illegal aliens evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Ocasio-Cortez is facing scrutiny from the Trump administration over two alleged offenses: reportedly employing an illegal immigrant who then helped another evade ICE. In an interview with Benny Johnson, Homan said he has directed the agency to pursue a case against her.
“It’s being looked at (AOC employing illegal alien), can’t comment past that. I’m aware of it, we’ve asked ICE to drill in on that case,” Homan said. “As far as her educating people how to evade ICE arrests, she’s really educating them on how to avoid prosecution. Because there are statutes on the books when you knowingly hinder your removal, that’s a crime.”
Johnson questioned how an illegal immigrant might have been able to work in Congress and have access to classified material.
“It is not possible,” Homan stressed, emphasizing that the congresswoman will be held accountable if such claims are accurate.
