Ocasio-Cortez: No DOJ response on potential investigation for migrant briefing
The Hill ^ | 5/16/25 | Filip Timotija

Posted on 05/17/2025 9:20:01 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said this week that she has not gotten a response from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on the potential investigation into her over a migrant webinar she held in February.

“I asked them; they haven’t responded to me, but, you know, once again, I’m fully using the First Amendment to inform people of their constitutional rights. They say a lot of things, but I’ve written a formal letter, and they won’t respond,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

She set the deadline for the DOJ to respond by March 5.

The New York Democrat said a potential arrest of a sitting lawmaker “without any actual grounds” would represent a “tremendous sea change and escalation in what this administration is willing to do to bend laws, norms, et cetera, and how a normal functioning democracy works.”

So airhead, assaulting an ICE officer, while doing his job, is not grounds for arrest.

You gotta love Sen. Kennedy's response when asked what he thought of AOC:

I recognize that AOC is now the leading voice in the Democrat party. I also know that she is the reason that shampoo bottles have instructions.

Oh look, airhead is trying to use her power to influence or end an ongoing investigation of her.

Almost every time I read or hear about Ocrazio-Cortex, I am reminded of one of my clients with a developmental disability.

When confronted with a major skull full of mush, my client stated: “I may be retarded, but he is stupid.”

“”to inform people of their constitutional rights””

What rights are those? Certainly not in the US Constitution..Their rights come from their home country and they need to go home to claim them!

LOL - Love that man. I hadn’t heard that. Someone should start a journal of his greatest quotes - but then - they ARE ALL great. Are we sure he’s not Will Rogers or Mark Twain reincarnated?

"... inform people of their constitutional rights. T"

Where does the Constitution say that foreign invaders have Constitutional rights?

Rightly or wrongly, every human within the boundaries of the United States enjoys the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. The wording says ‘persons’ not ‘citizens’. Does this mean illegal aliens have a right to live here, of course not. But they do have the right to a hearing before they are shipped out. Even the Germans who landed here covertly during WWII got trials.

There is no reason that this should take months or years to achieve. Let’s see your entry paperwork, Pedro, don’t have any? Off you go.

I think it is standard practice to not provide comment regarding ongoing investigations.

If the investigation finds no cause for indictment, this also is not commented on.

A lawyer can sometimes inquire about if their client is a person-of-interest. She has likely been briefed on all this.

She knew or was told that her formal letter cannot receive a response, and is splashing that.

No they don't. There are a thousand reasons a non citizen can be deported.

Of course there are. They have no right to be here. But they do get to have a hearing before they are deported. I suppose that if a judge has ordered them out, and they haven’t left (Thanks Joe/Kam) they may not be entitled to yet another hearing.

It would be awesome if just outside the front door to her home, a number of MS-13 or TDA members would peacefully assemble.
