Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi Hello, Pam Bondi? That’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s question for the head of the DOJ, after Trump border czar Tom Homan threatened her for hosting a webinar with the Immigrant Defense Project, an advocacy group that offers legal aid to migrants, in which folks were educated on their legal rights, in case they encounter Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. The Constitution would be a good place to start.” Homan, again on Fox News, said he is “well aware of the Constitution, but I am also aware the DOJ gives legal interpretations on issues like this to ensure ICE acts in accordance with the law.” On Friday, AOC took things up a notch and penned a letter to AG Pam Bondi, demanding confirmation of whether she and/or her office were in fact under federal investigation. “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,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
