Allegations surfaced that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez’s congressional office hosted a February webinar—featuring the Immigrant Defense Project—offering “know your rights” guidance to migrants about ICE encounters, including advising not to open doors without a judicial warrant and to remain silent. Former ICE official Tom Homan criticized the event, saying he asked the Justice Department to evaluate whether it impeded enforcement. Supporters say it was legal rights education; no DOJ charges were reported. Broader claims that AOC planned or coordinated militant “de‑arrest” trainings or celebrated activists ripping detainees from ICE custody are circulating online but lack credible, verified evidence as of now.

Ghislaine Maxwell is scheduled to be deposed virtually before the House Oversight Committee on February 9, 2026, under a subpoena tied to the congressional probe of Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell, convicted in 2021 of sex‑trafficking and serving a 20‑year federal sentence, has sought immunity and previously conditioned cooperation; her lawyer says she will likely invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer. Lawmakers hope she will disclose information about Epstein’s 2007 non‑prosecution agreement, his death, and alleged associates — including speculation about powerful figures — but committee leaders say immunity won’t be granted. The session is expected to draw national attention. (axios.com)
