Border Czar Tom Homan Taunts AOC Over Dem Congresswoman’s Charges: ‘I’m Waiting on the Consequences’

Border Czar Tom Homan poked fun at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her threat suggesting there'd be a "problem" if Trump administration officials arrested Democrats for obstructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In short, Homan let Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) know that one of her colleagues fooled around and found out. Now the ball is in her court.

Appearing with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Tuesday, Homan responded to news that Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell is under investigation for allegedly “aiding and abetting” illegal immigrants.

Ingraham opined that the latest news would leave Democrats "caterwauling" over the Justice Department pursuing local officials for trying to impede law enforcement.

Homan seized the opportunity to respond to AOC's petulant threat.

"Well, remember just a couple weeks ago, AOC went on social media saying if we put a finger on any of her co-workers — Congresspeople that were at our Newark facility — there would be consequences," Homan said.

"Well, guess what? We did it. I’m waiting on the consequences.”

He's referencing comments made by AOC in one of her wide-eyed social media posts, in which she threatened that if lawmakers are held accountable for their actions, she would take action.

"You lay a finger on someone, on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, on Representative ... on any of the other representatives that were there, you lay a finger on them, we are going to have a problem," she warned.

AOC is ramping up her rhetoric.

She says if the DOJ lays a finger on any of the representatives who stormed an ICE facility then “we are going to have a problem.”

Goes on to say, “they can’t come for all of us”.

Democrats Plan to Ramp Up ICE Obstruction Visits, Don’t Care if They Get Arrested

Homan initially laughed at the threat, sarcastically saying he was "extremely intimidated" while adding that the New York socialaist was "full of" something.

"When you cross that line, we will ask the Attorney General to prosecute, and that's what we're doing."

That's precisely what happened just days later.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was caught on video swinging fists and forearms at federal law enforcement officers outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, earlier this month. She has been charged with assaulting and impeding those agents.

Several Democratic lawmakers have since announced that they plan to ramp up efforts similar to those that led to McIver's arrest, even suggesting they are unconcerned about being charged themselves.

Homan went on to promote the message that ICE plans to "flood the zone" when it comes to so-called "sanctuary cities" trying to evade law enforcement efforts.

"The (Nashville) mayor is no different,” he continued. “Look, I’ve said from day one, you cannot cooperate with ICE if that’s what you want to do, but you can’t get in our way, and you can’t impede our efforts. Or you cross that line, we will seek prosecution.”

Nobody is above the law. McIver found that out. What will AOC do about it?
