Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s Border Czar, recently revealed that the intellectually stunted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under investigation for allegedly employing an illegal alien and assisting others in evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
“It’s being looked at, can’t comment past that. I’m aware of it, we’ve asked ICE to drill in on that case,” Mr. Homan said during an interview with political commentator Benny Johnson. He then stated he couldn’t talk about the case because it is currently under investigation.
“As far as you know her educating people on how to evade ICE arrests, she’s really educating them on how to be prosecuted…when you knowingly hinder your removal, that’s a crime,” Mr. Homan told Johnson. The popular podcast host then asked how it was possible to hire an illegal alien in Congress.
Homan replied, “It is not possible.”

Diego de la Vega, former deputy communications director for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, moved to Colombia in March after living in New York City for 23 years. He was born in Ecuador and moved to the U.S. as a 7-year-old on a visitor’s visa that he then overstayed, becoming undocumented. He told Migrant Insider that “it’s bittersweet” to move to Colombia.
“I hadn’t left the country in 23 years—from age seven to age thirty. Now, I can’t go back to the U.S,” he explained. “It feels like exile. It’s a very permanent move. But my wife and I are confident we made the right decision. And after some time, it’s been a real pleasure to be here.”
“It feels surreal to not be ‘illegalized’ anymore. I don’t have to live in the shadows or constantly worry about paperwork,” he added. “That freedom of movement is incredibly satisfying. I might not be able to return to the United States for many years—I don’t know how long. But it feels fulfilling to be home.”
Before he began working with Ocasio-Cortez in 2022, de la Vega was heavily involved in politics, working up the ladder to the position of deputy communications director. He also used to be a congressional fellow for former Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY).
AOC has rather high praise for the man, saying, “Diego is amazing,” and “We love him,” when she was asked about him while traveling down the hall of the Capitol building.
Mr. Homan had called for the Justice Department to investigate Ms. Ocasio-Cortez after she hosted a “Know Your Rights” webinar in February for her constituents about how to interact with ICE. She wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi in February requesting clarification on whether the Justice Department was investigating her.
“I write to request clarity on whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) has yielded to political pressure and attempts to weaponize the agency against elected officials whose speech they disagree with,” the letter said. “Over the past two weeks, ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan has gone on multiple forums threatening political prosecution against me, citing resources I distributed informing my constituents and the American public of their constitutional and legal rights.”
The New York Democrat then alleged that Homan’s “attempts to use your agency to politically intimidate duly elected officials are a textbook threat to the right to free speech in the United States.” During a town hall event held in Queens back in May, Ocasio-Cortez said she wasn’t afraid.
“Come for me,” she dared Homan.
