Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing serious accusations involving the employment of an illegal immigrant with a criminal background on her congressional team, according to reports.
According to Tom Homan, who is overseeing border enforcement efforts, federal authorities are actively investigating claims that Ocasio-Cortez hired an undocumented immigrant with a criminal record. She is also alleged to have guided the individual on how to avoid apprehension by ICE.
A video clip circulating on social media from The Benny Show features host Benny Johnson pressing Homan on the situation. “Just one final question, Mr. Border Czar, and it has to do with the region of New York and somebody who’s in the news a lot lately because she’s most likely planning on running for higher office: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. AOC has come—and what looks like to us crossed the line—a number of times. But two very curious stories out of her office: One, as soon as you were able to regain your position as Border Czar, AOC had a criminal alien who was working in her congressional staff flee the country. I can’t quite square how that’s possible. How is somebody allowed to be a criminal alien in this country and then go work in Congress where you have access to classified material and you have access to a lot of important information? Then AOC has gone on and obviously taught publicly illegal aliens how to avoid ICE. She’s done this with some of her colleagues in the Squad. Here’s the article of the criminal alien staffer that AOC had on staff. Maybe you could just start here, as an explainer to me and to this audience: How is this even possible?”
Johnson raised concerns about how someone living in the country illegally could find employment in a congressional office, especially given the sensitive information to which staffers often have access.
He also referenced public incidents where Ocasio-Cortez, along with other members of the progressive “Squad,” openly advised undocumented immigrants on ways to avoid deportation or ICE encounters, sparking intense political backlash.
