PANIC? AOC Writes Letter to Pam Bondi Asking “Am I Under Investigation?”


It seems like Tom Homan’s referral has really gotten under AOC’s skin…

The far-left Democrat Congresswoman just sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking is she is under investigation for helping illegal aliens avoid deportation.

“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,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez wrote in her letter,

“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.”

Allow me to translate that last part.

By “resources” distributed to her “constituents,” AOC is of course referring to a webinar she hosted instructing criminal illegal aliens on how to evade ICE.

In case that text is hard to read, here’s a full transcript of AOC’s letter:

Dear Attorney General Bondi,

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. 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.

On February 13, 2025, Mr. Homan announced that he had asked the Deputy Attorney General to open an investigation, and that I will be “in trouble now.” It has been 14 days since Mr. Homan first threatened to weaponize your agency, but I have not yet heard any referral from the federal government. Homan’s actions
undercut core Constitutional rights and further transparency is necessary.

I am sure you aware of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Indeed, last week, Vice President Vance said that “we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square.” Mr. Homan’s repeated 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. Threatening
criminal proceedings for exercising the First Amendment is itself a violation of the First Amendment.

Educating the public about their rights, especially in a time of rising uncertainty, is a key part of our responsibility as elected officials. A government that uses threats of DOJ investigations to suppress free speech is a threat to all, regardless of political ideology. Please respond no later than March 5, 2025, with an update on the Department of Justice’s response to Mr. Homan’s request and transparency as to whether my office or myself is actively under
investigation for exercising their First Amendment rights and executing on our congressional responsibilities.

Sincerely,

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Member of Congress

Tom Homan previously told Laura Ingraham that he has filed a criminal complain against Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

Here’s that clip, for reference:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wants to know if she’s in legal hot water.

In a highly unusual letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Ocasio-Cortez noted that she’s been a target of repeated criticism from Tom Homan, President Trump’s “border czar,” after she hosted a webinar designed to inform immigrants of their legal rights in potential confrontations with deportation agents.

Ocasio-Cortez has fiercely defended her actions, saying they were well within her First Amendment rights to free speech — an assertion she amplified to Bondi. But she still wants “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.”

“It has been 14 days since Mr. Homan first threatened to weaponize your agency, but I have not yet heard any referral from the federal government,” she wrote. “Homan’s actions undercut core Constitutional rights and further transparency is necessary.”

Trump, on the campaign trail, had vowed to make the deportation of millions of people living in the country illegally a top priority of his second term. And Homan, who served as a top immigration enforcer under President Obama and in Trump’s first term, is leading the charge.

In a series of news interviews this month, Homan suggested Ocasio-Cortez had violated federal laws by hosting the Feb. 12 “Know Your Rights” seminar, which she’s characterized as offering “practical guidance on how to interact with” deportation officials.

I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait to see how Pam Bondi responds to this one…
