Footage has resurfaced showing a congressional spat between progressive “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) and former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Ton Homan. The hearing revolved around liberal outrage during former President Donald Trump’s presidency regarding his border policies.
During the hearing, AOC tore into Homan over the separation of families when illegal immigrants are detained at the southern border, which Ocasio Cortez claimed is a violation of international law. However, Homan shut down the progressive congresswoman with cold, hard facts, leaving AOC speechless as the former director confronted her.
“So we as members of the United Nations signed on into international human rights agreement, saying very clearly that family separation is a violation of international human rights, and we pursued a policy that violates human rights. You know, Mr. Chair, I was looking, how did we get to this point?” the Democratic representative said.
