(Daily Wire)—Trump border czar Tom Homan taunted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Tuesday over her threatening “consequences” if her Democrat colleagues were punished for a scuffle at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.
During a Fox News appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Homan referenced Ocasio-Cortez’s warning, which happened before federal prosecutors charged Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) in connection with the incident.
“Remember, just a couple weeks ago, AOC went on social media saying if we put a finger on any of her co-workers — Congresspeople that were at our Newark facility, there would be consequences. Well, guess what? We did it. I’m waiting on the consequences,” Homan said.

In a live stream, Ocasio-Cortez defended her colleagues, including McIver, who clashed with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials during what they claim was lawful oversight of the ICE facility.
“If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress, it’s the Department of Homeland Security. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “You lay a finger on someone — on … any of the representatives that were there. You lay a finger on them, we’re going to have a problem.”
