Representative warns about immigration and links arrival of radical Islam to national security risks

 

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has found herself at the center of a controversy following accusations that she allegedly (though video evidence exists) participated in orientation and training sessions for people interested in learning how to respond to or resist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.

According to her critics, these actions could be interpreted as an attempt to obstruct the work of immigration authorities. However, supporters of the congresswoman maintain that these were informational workshops focused on explaining legal rights and basic protocols in the event of detentions or inspections, a common practice among migrant advocacy organizations.

The incident has intensified the political debate surrounding the boundaries between community legal counsel and potential interference with law enforcement, in a context where immigration policy remains one of the most polarizing issues in the United States.

At the same time, the representative's actions highlight the Democrats' fear of losing votes due to the departure of undocumented immigrants, who have provided them with a significant number of votes, though certainly not enough to win elections.
