An unearthed video purportedly showing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, dancing in a college-era video was shared by conservative Twitter accounts Wednesday as an attempt to discredit the newly. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez teared up while hearing a story of a child who died after being held by ICE. For more than 35 seconds, the lawmaker cried and wiped her eyes with a tissue.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) questioned Thomas Homan, the former Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), during a session of congress.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has just become an ally in 21 Savage's deportation battle. On Friday (Feb. 8), the congresswoman mentioned 21's current situation when responding to The Daily Beast's tweet that included a story about how hosts on Fox News' Fox & Friends seemingly linked her to a Queens shooting death that took place last weekend.
“Unlike these people, I actually care about my community. This happened across my old campaign office. We’ve been monitoring this heartbreaking situation and have been working with the community to heal. Meanwhile, ICE is detaining children, political activists & 21 Savage,” Cortez said in a tweet that alludes to 21 being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last Sunday (Feb. 3).
For a bit more context, during the Friday morning episode of Fox & Friends, the show's hosts mentioned the scene of a grisly shooting. Recently, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that the alleged gunman who shot and killed one person at a subway station in Queens was a known MS-13 gang member and was in the country illegally.
During this particular Fox & Friends episode the hosts play a video with captions reading, “AOC (Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) won’t fund ICE despite MS-13 murder” and “Ocasio-Cortez calls to abolish ICE.”
Co-host Steve Doocy then added that Alexandria is 'trying to starve out ICE by not funding them.”
The congresswoman's tweet at Fox & Friends follows a previous message she wrote in support of 21 who is currently in ICE custody. In a Feb. 4 tweet, she quoted the rapper's lyrics from his performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where he rapped a new version of 'A Lot.' She tweeted:

“The gas was off, so we had to boil up the water/Been through some things so I can't imagine my kids stuck at the border/Flint still need water/ People was innocent, couldn't get lawyers.' - 21 Savage on last Tuesday’s Tonight Show.'

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on MSNBC's 'The Rachel Maddow Show' to discuss President Donald Trump's primetime address on immigration. Ocasio-Cortez wasted no time saying Trump violated humanitarian laws and asked why Immigration and Customs Enforcement is being funded.
'No one should feel unsafe in the United States of America and that includes our amazing and beautiful and productive immigrant community. And moreover, the one thing that the president has not talked about is the fact that he has systematically engaged in the violation of human rights borders – of human rights on our borders,' Ocasio-Cortez told Maddow.
The Congresswoman was quick to say Trump is responsible for separating families at the southern border, but she failed to mention President Barack Obama had similar policies in place.
'He has separated children from their families, he talked about what happened the day after Christmas. On the day of Christmas, a child died in ICE custody,' Ocasio-Cortez explained.
And, apparently it's up to President Trump to defend the need to protect our borders. Guess it's not so obvious to progressives.
'The president should not be asking for more to an agency that has systematically violated human rights. The president should really be defending why we're funding such an agency at all because right now what we're seeing is death. Right now what we're seeing is the violation of human rights,' she said.
She also explained her take on visa overstays and somehow tried to pin that on Trump.
'Even if you're anti-immigrant in this country, the majority of immigrant overstays, the majority of the reason that people are undocumented is visa overstays. It's not because people are crossing a border illegally,' the Congresswoman said. 'It's because of via overstays, which, mind you, he is talking about legal immigration. He's trying to restrict every form of legal immigration there is in the United States. He's fighting against family unification. He's fighting against the diversity visa lottery. He's fighting against almost every legal way people can actually legally enter this country, forcing them to become undocumented and then he's trying to attack their undocumented status.'
Actually, President Trump brought back the catch-and-release program this summer, something conservatives were upset about but reunited children with their parents.

Ocasio-Cortez doesn't seem to understand that going after those who overstay their visas isn't 'attacking their undocumented status.' It means America is enforcing its immigration laws. Gee, what a concept, right? We know that the majority of illegal aliens are people who came here legally and overstayed their visas. That doesn't mean that we're not seeing an influx of illegal crossings at the border. Hello, where have you been, Alexandria? Did you miss the news about the Central American caravan traveling to the United States? Did you miss the news about some of them crossing illegally because their asylum applications weren't approved quick enough for their liking?
