Kristi Noem Claims Democrats ‘Standing Alongside Known Terrorists,’ Backs DOJ Probe Into AOC Webinar

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem gave her backing to the idea that the Justice Department investigate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for hosting a February “Know Your Rights” webinar aimed at informing immigrants about how to deal with ICE encounters.

At the time, President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan claimed the progressive congresswoman may have crossed legal lines in the session as he leads the administration’s mass deportation efforts.

“Maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now,” Homan said in February, adding she was potentially “trying to teach them how to evade law enforcement.”

Ocasio-Cortez clapped back on Friday at a town hall, arguing that she was using her “free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections.” In direct response to Homan, she added: “Come for me, do I look like I care?”

During an interview on Fox News with host Sean Hannity, Noem was asked about the webinar.

“Is this aiding and abetting in your view?” the host asked.

Noem agreed that the webinar should be investigated and accused Democrats of “standing alongside known terrorists” in providing help to immigrants who may be subject to Trump’s deportation policies:

I think the Department of Justice absolutely should look into this situation. We’ve seen not just those that serve in public office, be willing to break the law to facilitate the invasion that has happened and allow criminals to stay here. We’ve also seen judges take radical action to help protect these criminals. It’s time that we stand for what’s right. The American people are sick of these these people abusing our system to try to promote an agenda.

And remember, the Democrats are using fear to control people. They are out there motivating people by fear, and they’re standing alongside known terrorists in order to endanger our future. So I think it’s entirely appropriate that the Department of Justice look into these situations.
