Kristi Noem Says AOC’s Latest Stunt Deserves DOJ Attention

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday on “Hannity” that it’s “entirely appropriate” for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her comments to illegal migrants.

During a Friday town hall in Jackson Heights, Queens, Ocasio-Cortez taunted border czar Tom Homan to “come” for her, escalating public tensions that began in February. Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Noem whether the congresswoman’s prior remarks could be considered “aiding and abetting” and whether the DOJ should “look into this situation.”

“I think the Department of Justice absolutely should look into this situation,” Noem said. “We’ve seen not just those that serve in public office be willing to break the law to facilitate the invasion that has happened and allow criminals to stay here. We’ve also seen judges take radical action to help protect these criminals. It’s time that we stand for what’s right.”

On Feb. 12, Ocasio-Cortez hosted a virtual event on her Facebook page titled “Know Your Rights With ICE,” where she advised illegal migrants how to respond to encounters with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at home or in the workplace.

Days after the event, Homan issued a warning to Ocasio-Cortez, telling Fox News he had begun working with the DOJ to determine whether her webinar obstructed the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement.
