AOC says Trump’s border czar should ‘learn to read’ after she becomes latest Democrat to be threatened by him

after he suggested she would be in “trouble” for hosting a webinar explaining migrants’ rights in the U.S.

on Blue Sky Thursday, with a caption mocking his words.

“‘MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw,’” she mocked Homan’s threats in a post on X. “Maybe he can learn to read,” she added. “The Constitution would be a good place to start.”

Homan appeared on Fox News that same day, revealing that he’s working with the Justice Department to determine whether Ocasio-Cortez was “crossing the line” when she aired a “Know Your Rights with ICE” (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) webinar on Facebook Wednesday.

“I sent an email today to the deputy attorney general,” Homan told Fox News. “At what level is that impedement? Is that impedement? I’m not an attorney, I’m not a prosecutor. Is that impedement?”

“So I’m working with the Department of Justice and finding out where is that line that they cross, so maybe AOC won’t be in trouble now but I need the AAG [assistant Attorney General] to opine on that, because impediment is impediment in my opinion,” he continued, implying that explaining American legal rights could somehow be construed as illegal.

also reportedly threatened the mayor of Chicago with prosecution before he even took office.

“If your Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside,” Homan reportedly told a local Republican club. “But if he impedes us – if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien – I will prosecute him.”

Ocasio-Cortez similarly fired back at Fox News media personality Sean Hannity for criticizing the webinar while sharing graphics that detailed migrants’ rights on X.

“Believe it or not, in America EVERYONE has rights,” she wrote. “Citizen or not, we all should know our rights to protect ourselves and others from illegal search & seizure.”
