Homan, known for his tough stance on immigration enforcement, didn’t hold back, warning that these actions could have serious legal consequences. He pointed to specific sections of U.S. law that criminalize efforts to obstruct immigration enforcement, suggesting that Ocasio-Cortez’s guidance could come back to haunt her and those who follow it.
Legal Consequences for Ignoring Immigration Orders
Homan laid out the potential fallout for those who heed the Congresswoman’s advice, noting that failing to comply with a final deportation order is itself a federal crime.
“Because you have a final order, it is illegal to not comply with that order. It’s a crime to take steps to not comply with ICE removal orders or not comply with ICE actions taken in custody,” Homan explained, adding that enforcement could begin at any moment.
He went further, specifically referencing Title 8 of the United States Code, section 1253, which outlines the penalties for individuals who interfere with their own deportation.
“You can’t hinder your own removal that was ordered by the federal judge. I would like AOC to read Title 8, United States Code 1253, because it’s starting tomorrow,” Homan declared, signaling that crackdowns could be imminent.
AOC Fires Back
Despite the warnings, Ocasio-Cortez has remained defiant, framing her actions as a matter of free speech and constitutional rights. During a recent town hall in Queens, she addressed the escalating feud with a fiery response.
“Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me, do I look like I care?” Ocasio-Cortez said to a cheering crowd.
The New York lawmaker went even further, challenging law enforcement to act if they believed she had crossed a line, pointing to a recent case where an FBI agent was arrested for helping an illegal immigrant evade capture.
“There’s nothing illegal about what I’m doing, and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me,” she added, pushing back against the notion that she had broken the law.
As this political and legal clash continues to escalate, the stakes for Ocasio-Cortez and her supporters are growing. Whether Homan’s warning turns into actual legal action remains to be seen, but the fiery rhetoric on both sides suggests this battle is far from over.
Just one of the reasons to Dems lost the election, no concern for its citizens, just criminals and illegals, no common sense, they need to realize they’re gonna lose every elections if they keep this up, but I can’t see that happening and it would be lies anyway if they said they were going to get on board.
Do you need a proofreader? Who’s actually writing these articles? Tom Homan works for President Trump, not slow Joe! Mr. Homan and his team are doing a great job.
Idiot AOC should be told ILLEGAL ALIENS DO NOT HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY; AND HER AIDING AND ABETTING THEM MAKES HER A CRIMINAL AS WELL.
