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 administration’s 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 administration’s 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 Tlaib’s comments a few minutes later, complaining that “in my 34 years, I’ve 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 ICE’s critics in Congress.................................

1. 'We arrested 100's of women that were victims of sex trafficking" @ :33

WTF???

[avebury]

3. Mr. Holman, explain to this committee exactly what crimes the victims of sex

trafficking have committed and why are you arresting the victims?

[llmart]

15. I think he said "rescued" not arrested.

[moriah]

20. He said he "rescued" children but "arrested" women.

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...

2. This jackass is a real work of art...

...from hell and beyond. I want to spit in his face every time I see him testify in front of Congress, or watch him spew his propaganda, unchallenged, on fox propaganda network. Worthless bag of rotten horse shit.

[atreides1]

5. Homan

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

[EveHammond13]

10. he is a Nazi pure and simple

[iluvtennis]

14. + agree.

[wasupaloopa]

4. Trump apologists always play the victim card.

No matter how many pills he took off the street, sending people to their deaths nullifies good deeds.

[Grokenstein]

16. Scumbags like this always want to act like complete monsters

...and then get a ticker-tape parade and a medal for it.

[LiberalFighter]

6. What a piece of shit. He thinks he is a law enforcement officer?

[paleotn]

7. Years of government service...

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?

[rockfordfile]

8. That guy has Nazi written all over him

[ffr]

9. Love the attitude and confidence.

AOC

[JudyM]

12. She is sophisticated beyond her years. Such restraint.

[bearssoapbox]

11. It's not hate you're hearing, you worthless RAT BASTARD S-O-B!

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!

[Kurt V.]

13. That's how ya do that. boom

[Mc Mike]

17. STFU, Homan, you nazi.

[dchill]

18. I will hold her beer anytime.

Anytime!

[riversedge]

19. :-)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. That's the way conservatives argue

They shout over you.

[BlueIdaho]

22. That's not arguing - that's a filibuster.

And it is a contemptible disregard congressional rules.
