Tom Homan, the tough-talking border expert picked by President Trump, isn’t losing sleep over attacks from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. He’s wearing her criticism like a badge of honor. “I live in her mind rent-free,” Homan shot back after AOC accused him of wasting time on TV interviews instead of fighting drug traffickers.
The feud started when AOC hosted a online class telling illegal immigrants how to dodge ICE agents. Homan didn’t hold back, warning that her advice could help dangerous criminals stay on the streets. “She’s not educating anyone—she’s teaching lawbreakers how to hide,” he said. Homan pointed out that sneaking into America is a crime, and hiding from ICE makes it worse.
AOC fired back on social media, mocking Homan and telling him to “learn how to read” the Constitution. But Homan stood firm, reminding everyone that ICE is focused on catching criminals—like gang members and violent offenders—to keep communities safe. “Let’s hope her ‘lessons’ don’t help the next killer escape justice,” he added, referencing a recent murder case tied to an illegal immigrant.
The clash turned personal when Homan called AOC “the dumbest congresswoman ever elected.” AOC hit back by labeling him a “coward” for going after vulnerable families. But Homan’s supporters say he’s just doing his job—enforcing laws passed by Congress. “If you don’t like the rules, change them,” Homan said. “Until then, we’ll arrest anyone here illegally.”
Conservatives praise Homan for refusing to back down. They argue that weak border policies put Americans at risk, and leaders like AOC are making it worse. “Safety starts with law and order,” one supporter said. “Homan gets that—AOC doesn’t.”
Homan’s track record speaks for itself. Under Trump, border crossings dropped by over 90%. He’s now pushing to finish the wall, speed up deportations, and end catch-and-release. “No more free passes,” he vowed.
Liberals claim Homan’s tactics are too harsh, but he insists they’re necessary. “Every nation has borders,” he said. “Ours shouldn’t be a joke.” With the 2024 election heating up, this fight is far from over.
For now, Homan says he’ll keep speaking out—no matter how much AOC complains. “If she’s mad, I’m doing something right,” he grinned. “Bring it on.”
