New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears to be very concerned following reports that she could become a target of a federal investigation for allegedly aiding and abetting illegal immigrants in avoiding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehension.

The controversial Democrat penned a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi this week demanding to know whether she was the subject of such an investigation after border czar Tom Homan announced he had referred her to the Justice Department for potential criminal charges.“I write to request clarity on whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) has yielded to political pressure and attempts to weaponize the agency against elected officials whose speech they disagree with. Over the past two weeks, ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan has gone on multiple forums threatening political prosecution against me, citing resources I distributed informing my constituents and the American public of their constitutional and legal rights,” she said to begin her letter.

“On February 13, 2025, Mr. Homan announced that he had asked the Deputy Attorney General to open an investigation, and that I will be ‘in trouble now.’ It has been 14 days since Mr. Homan first threatened to weaponize your agency, but I have not yet heard any referral from the federal government. Homan’s actions undercut core Constitutional rights and further transparency is necessary,” AOC added before quoting the First Amendment of the Constitution.
