Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) visited migrant shelters in El Paso and claimed that border agents instructed migrants to drink water out of the toilets, but a photo provided context as the commode had a sink attached to it, and this type of equipment is common in holding facilities. A border agent did report that a migrant woman who did not know how to use the faucet did drink water from the toilet when she first arrived, but she was not directed by US officials to do so.

A second issue arose when many accused AOC and her supporters of staging a photo-op after images and video taken during a 2018 event outside a migrant ā€œtent cityā€ in Tornillo, Texas went viral. She posted a video of herself posing for cameras while crying and screaming at a few border patrol agents who were behind a chain link fence in a vacant parking lot.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., screamed at federal law enforcement agents ā€œin a threatening mannerā€ during a visit to a Border Patrol facility in El Paso, Texas, and refused to tour the facility, according to two people who witnessed the incident.

A group of 14 House Democrats, including Ocasio-Cortez, and their aides kicked off their visit to the region at about 11 a.m. MST Monday at the El Paso Station on Hondo Pass Drive.

The group was standing inside the station near an area where migrants are held when Ocasio-Cortez left them to sit inside a nearby holding area with a family as the other lawmakers and aides were briefed on station operations.

ā€œShe comes out screaming at our agents, right at the beginning [of the tour] … Crying and screaming and yelling,ā€ said one witness who said he was stunned by the outburst in front of approximately 40 people.

ā€œThe agents, they wanted to respond, but they held back because she’s a congressional delegate. But when you have someone yelling at you in a threatening manner … ā€ the same person said. ā€œThey were like, ā€˜Hey, you need to kinda step back.ā€™ā€

A second official said she went in and out of the cell during the group’s briefing nearby and returned to the group several times to share information she had learned from detainees, including that one person had drunk from a toilet.

The congresswoman told the group she would not go with the 13 other House Democrats on the tour of the facility and stayed with the family.

A second official said that while she was around agents, Ocasio-Cortez commented at another point about an unofficial Border Patrol Facebook page that was exposed earlier Monday for offensive content about those in custody and lawmakers, including the congresswoman.

ā€œSomething under her breath, ā€˜Oh, all these guys in here are gonna f–k me.’ The agents are standing there behind the computers. One of the agents laughed at something he was saying to another agent, and she got irate and flipped out,ā€ the second Border Patrol official said. ā€œNow they’re under investigation for it. She took it as they were laughing at her and screams at them and says, ā€˜What’s so funny?ā€™ā€

CBP did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the internal affairs matter. The Border Patrol official said managers were in the process of taking statements from agents.

The Washington Examiner submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to CBP for video of the events.

The congresswoman, who led a charge in 2018 to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, recounted the scene differently in a social media post afterward and did not mention yelling at agents.

Court Blocks Biden’s COVID Vaccine Mandate for US Federal Workers

March 26, 2023 NY Post 1

A prior injunction blocked the mandate in January 2022, only a few months after Biden issued the order, but nearly 98% of covered employees had already been vaccinated. Opponents of the policy said it was an encroachment on federal workers’ lives that neither the Constitution nor federal statutes authorize.
