Jasmine Crockett insists ‘it’s not a crime’ to illegally cross the border

Rep. Jasmine Crockett faces backlash over her claim that illegal entry into the United States is not a crime. Border czar Tom Homan responded, stating that illegally entering the U.S. is a federal misdemeanor punishable by fines and jail time under Title 8, United States Code 1325.

Homan emphasized that illegally entering the country can lead to both criminal and civil penalties, with repeat offenders facing harsher punishments.

Crockett criticized the focus on immigration by law enforcement over serious crimes like murder or sexual assault.
