Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, after he suggested her “Know Your Rights with ICE” webinar could be illegal.
The event informed immigrants about their rights during ICE raids. Homan claimed the webinar might impede immigration enforcement and said he was working with the DOJ to determine legal action.
AOC dismissed his remarks, stating, “Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start.”
She continues to oppose Trump’s immigration policies, including efforts to revoke birthright citizenship.
conservatism is a disease that untreated will often develop into fascism
I would say conservatism unchallenged vigorously transforms into fascism.
Same for liberals

What happened to the immigrants they were hauling off to Guantánamo Bay? Has there been an update on that?
Are they seriously using Czar as an official title?
Maybe AOC should tell her illegal aliens in her district on how to legally enter the country rather than to hide from ICE
Get the fuck out of here. AOC has been the only politician that I truly believe is fighting for the american people.
Fighting for the illegal aliens, maybe.
If they are already in the country then it would be pointless to describe how to enter the country.
That’s where Tom Homan comes in
The guy who brought the war crime of parental separation from children to US policy. Why do you think that ruining children’s lives, who would otherwise be raised in families, cared for and loved, literal babies torn from their mother’s breast, is a good thing? And for what? Money? This policy is the most expensive way of doing anything, and removing immigration negatively impacts the country both as a collective and as per capita, so it’s purely just ideological cruelty on an arbitrary group of people.
Secondly, the guy is a proven outright liar, who frequently quotes false and made up statistics, loves to joke about women getting raped, and regularly collaborates with listed hate groups.
Why not appoint a competent, truthful person who truly cares about helping America than someone actively trying to hurt both America and Americans?
Illegal aliens aren’t Americans, and should have sought legal ports of entry.
Family separations started under President Obama as well.it is not a war crime, as we’re not at war, however it is framed that way. It’s more of a crime to traffick kids to another country, is it not? To endanger their lives trekking across a desert, wading through a river and climbing an 18 ft wall when all they had to do was walk to a point of entry?
You care more about these illegal aliens than the starving homeless American kids and then wonder why there’s divisiveness in our country.
In case you’re deliberately missing the point, they’ve been going after illegal aliens with a criminal history, and you can’t blame Trump when they make bad decisions.
Jokes about women getting raped? So Laken Riley was a joke to you? Did you purposely miss the point just because you hate Trump so much? Is it ok for people to break our laws just out of your disdain for Trump?
illegal aliens aren’t Americans
not my point. I meant hurt Americans by increasing food and cost of living expenses, reduction in farming workforce, loss of tax revenue meaning increased taxes on the poorest
edit: not to mention the social cost of witnessing raids, which are generally pretty unpopular when witnessed in person or to someone you know
“started under Obama”
by the very self same person you just lauded as doing good thing
“it’s not a war crime because we’re not at war”
we are at war. America has been at war 228 out of 245 years (in before “its only congress that can declare war and they haven’t done that since ww2!” so the war in Iraq was not a war etc)
But also, the technical definition of war does not mean destroying families is suddenly a good thing lol
it’s more of a crime to traffick kids
That’s not what human trafficking is, and it’s disingenuous to suggest it is. And the solution to human trafficking is not to further traffick the victims, which is the solution here.
trekking across a desert… climbing a wall
this is a fantasy and for the most part is statistically insignificant to illegal immigration. Most people drive or fly into America, and do so legally. The illegal part occurs when their paperwork expires and, as you can imagine, it is then incredibly difficult to a) reup or b) remove persons for both sides. It’s hard for the person in question because of all the barriers to entry, but also they moved to the US legitimately, and now the barriers exist only to make continued life more difficult, further compounding the situation; and, it’s hard for the government because there simply isn’t the resources to track expiry dates let alone action deportation on the back of them.
you care more about x than y
How do you know what I care about? This conversation does not have the scope to list and stack rank an exhaustive list of all the things I care about, but you are welcome to go first.
Secondly, many of the starving homeless Americans are children of 1stG immigrants, whose lives are made worse by these policies.
Laken Riley is a joke to you?
A) when did I say that?
b) Google the numbers on who commits more violent crime - spoiler not only do immigrants commit less crime, and less severe types, but they also have an effect of reducing crime amongst Americans in their community
Yeah! At the local monthly illegal alien meeting! Durrr.
Here’s a question for you, if we have a 4th amendment, why do we have to deal with cops just knocking on doors asking for papers without a warrant? My time has no value? Can I bill them my hourly consultant rate?
Durrrr don’t rape and kill when you’re an illegal alien and maybe Tom Homan won’t find you. DURRR

This is borderline racist.
no it’s overt. report it.
You didn’t realize that invoking a stereotype based around someone’s race is racist?
Lol. So hard to keep up with the trends these days. It’s a mine field. First the n-word, then blackface and now this… What’s next?! /s
Yeah I didn’t. Thought only negative ones are seen as such. Again, my bad, but at least I learned something lol
Fuck off Nazi.
AOC 2028
1000%
LOL
AOC for Speaker! Congress needs fixing too.
Today, yeah, I’ll push my rep to vote for her in 2026. Goodness knows he won’t be…
The Dems definitely need someone with a bite in that position. AOC would be a good choice, indeed.
i’m ready.
even have some (unofficial) campaign gear.
I don’t like genocide supporters. Or kids in jail. Or union- strike busters Warmongers and regime chance advocats.
I have a hunch she’ll be in prison before that happens.
You can run from Prison
It’s what Trump would do.
She needs to keep going. She needs to speak to them the same way they speak to everyone else. She needs to use every bit of her position to mother fuck these cowards at every turn. Call them out, and show their ignorance every single fucking time and in every single fucking forum.
She needs to demand her coworkers do the same. She needs to shame them when they don’t or when they compromise. The time for pleasantries is long past.
If she does, others will follow, but it will be dangerous, so I understand if she just keeps doing what she is doing. It is at least miles more than most of them.
Bla bla bla, man shouts at clouds, but no one listens.
Fuck she’s cool
She’s fake AF. Larping as leftist.
I’ve always wonder why the US uses a title from Imperial Russia to refer to the heads of special activity like drug czar and border czar. No seriously, any ideas why?
It started with bush and 911 ask him and Andy card
It’s a term that indicates a leader, and its origins are thousands of years before imperial Russia.
It’s a derivative of the Latin “Caesar”, and many cultures have used the term (or its derivatives) to indicate a leader. Pre-Weimar Germany was led by the Kaiser, a German adaptation of the title.
Right, but its specifically a slavic/russian derivation of the word ceasar.
It’s also the shortest and most easily recognizable, which is most likely why it caught on. The fact that it’s a Russian/Slavic derivative is probably just coincidence.
All because of Julie’s parents….
It’s an unofficial title given to those empowered to make broad decisions for US, UK, and even Canadian policy.
It’s one of those projecting things the conservatives like to do. It’s stupid, and needs to stop imo.
don’t start a war of words with someone infinitely more intelligent than you are, mr homan.
His name sounds like he’s a ferengi from star trek. “Listen here, female hoo-man”. Kinda makes sense, they are like ferengi.
Likely can’t read the Constitution because they can’t read cursive.
So he was the cool guy as Obama’s border czar, but the bad guy when keeping the same policies under Trump?
He wasn’t in command of ICE under Obama. He was just commended for being a good employee under Obama. Trump made him a “border czar” (whatever the fuck that means). He apparently chaffed under the Obama administration’s more lax policies when it came to border security and is much happier under Trump. Clearly to the detriment of everyone who isn’t white.
maybe he got brain worms too
“on her X social media account” “hosted on her Facebook page.”
This person is part of the establishment.
Social media contributes to the polarization of public discourse and should absolutely be boycotted. However, this polarization manifests in various ways, and your comment is a good example of this. When everything becomes a purity test, we fall into extremism. To counter the rise of fascism, you must be willing to unite with those who do not share your opinions.
you must be willing to unite with those who do not share your opinions.
To counter the rise of fascism you don’t use the private social media of a guy who does the nazi salute in public.
It was on BlueSky.

Lol.
5 hour old account. Will quickly grow bored at how few people take the bait.
May decide to stay when he sees how everybody here is happier than him.
Let’s kill the bastard with kindness.
This has to be the most pathetic ‘no u’ that I’ve ever seen.
Absolutely embarrassing.

Yeah, fuck off junior.
