Homan referenced Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s past statements that warned of consequences if any members of Congress were harmed, asserting, &#8220;Well, guess what? We did it. I&#8217;m waiting on the consequences.&#8221; This <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >remark highlighted ongoing tensions<\/a> between Homan and progressive lawmakers over immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>The protest, in which McIver participated alongside other Democratic representatives, aimed to address conditions at the ICE-run Delaney Hall facility. Following her arrest,McIver faced charges that were condemned by House Democratic leadership,who defended the lawmakers&#8217; constitutional right to conduct oversight at federal facilities. The Democrats argued that they were not the aggressors in the situation, indicating that they were mistreated while trying to fulfill their duties. this incident underscores the escalating conflict between Trump administration officials and progressive Democrats regarding immigration enforcement and accountability.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Homan taunts AOC after arrest of House Democrat over ICE protest: &lsquo;Waiting on the consequences&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2132947\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Trump administration&rsquo;s<\/a> border czar taunted liberal Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> (D-NY) in an interview Tuesday night over the arrest of Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3417937\/democrats-rally-behind-lamonica-mciver-felony-assault-charge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) <\/a>after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Homan has sparred with progressives over immigration policy since he took a leading role on the initiative. <\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3422897\/democrats-house-oversight-election-jasmine-crockett-gerry-connolly\/\">Jasmine Crockett among four Democrats to compete in Oversight Committee election after Connolly&#8217;s death<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3422338\/maryland-congressman-glenn-ivey-kilmar-abrego-garcia-el-salvador\/\">Maryland congressman says he was denied access to constituent Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3422108\/ex-congressman-charlie-rangel-dies-94\/\">Ex-congressman Charlie Rangel dies at 94<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;AOC went on social media saying if we put a finger on any of her co-workers that were at the Newark facility, there would be consequences.
