Rep. AOC responds to Homan's threat: 'Do I look like I care?'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., called on progressives to challenge the Trump administration on immigration and responded directly to President Trump's border czar during a town hall event on Friday night.

"When we first did one of these seminars, Tom Homan, then-acting director of ICE, said that he was going to threaten to refer me to the DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutionally guaranteed protections," she said at the event in the Queens borough of New York City.

"And he may want to do it again today. To that, I say, come for me. You're going to have to come for me," she added. "Do I look like I care?"

Ocasio-Cortez said she will continue to advise her constituents about their constitutional rights, regardless of their immigration status.

"Our rights are use it or lose it. So, we need to use it. And we need to challenge them. So don't let them intimidate you into thinking that you're doing something wrong by telling people what their actual, legal constitutional rights are," she said. "There's nothing wrong about it, and there's nothing illegal about it. And if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me. That's how I feel about it."
