Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) shut down former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director Tom Homan on Wednesday when he tried to speak over his allotted time during a House hearing.
The contentious moment happened during a House Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties hearing on the Trump administrations decision to begin denying medical deferral requests from undocumented immigrants with life-threatening illnesses.
Committee member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), an outspoken critic of the administrations immigration measures, told Homan that his contribution as acting ICE chief will always be remembered as one that was very ruthless and inhumane.
An outraged Homan responded to Tlaibs comments a few minutes later, complaining that in my 34 years, Ive never seen such hate toward a law enforcement agency in my life.
Ocasio-Cortez, who was leading the hearing at that moment, repeatedly tried to tell the former ICE leader that his time was expired as he railed against ICEs critics in Congress.................................

(8,311 posts)I re-listened (because I was about to comment exactly what the above person said, why is he "arresting" women), and no, he said ICE "rescued" children, then "arrested" women who were "victims of sex trafficking".
He seems like he stumbles a bit in his speech, but there's a reason they call things like that Freudian slips...

Reminds me of Ernst Rohm...I can only hope that he meets the same fate!!!!

(17,989 posts)Few can match Darth Cheney in that category. The question is, what have you done with those years of service. And I'm sure Lawrence Rainey, Sheriff of Neshoba County Mississippi, was an accomplished law enforcement officer who kept Neshoba County safe until his involvement in the Freedom Summer murders. Not that they are identical, but you shouldn't get a button for doing your damn job. What else has Gruppenfuhrer Homan been up to?

(1,408 posts)It's the true facts of what you've done that is hateful and you know that what you've done, is wrong.
You're just another racist, hateful, spiteful, lawbreaking Rethuglicon that got him some power and realized he could use it against those brown people that have the audacity to try and improve themselves by wanting to live in the U.S.
FAN YOU!
