Rep. Ocasio-Cortez Faces Scrutiny Over Immigration Webinar Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is under scrutiny for her role in a February immigration webinar aimed at informing attendees of their legal rights during ICE encounters.

The event, held in English and Spanish, featured legal experts explaining rights such as remaining silent and requiring a warrant for home entry.

Ocasio-Cortez said her intent was to share accurate legal information and connect people with pro bono resources.

Her office also distributed materials on privacy release forms and legal assistance. Former Trump official Tom Homan called for a DOJ investigation, claiming the event could hinder law enforcement.

Ocasio-Cortez, citing her First Amendment rights, has requested clarification from the DOJ but hasn’t received a response.

Supporters defend her actions as public service, while critics question possible political motives. No investigation has been confirmed
