AOC draws spotlight with Queens town hall as 2028 White House talk swirls
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is hosting an in-person town hall in Jackson Heights, Queens, on Friday night amid speculation she is considering a 2028 presidential run.
After speaking at a May Day protest in New York City on Thursday, rejecting Trump’s agenda and warning protesters that Republicans «are going after Medicaid next,» Ocasio-Cortez is returning home to New York’s 14th congressional district to «share updates on her work in D.C., provide important constituent updates, and take questions from the audience.»
Ocasio-Cortez has been jet-setting across the United States with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on his «Fighting Oligarchy» tour. The campaign confirmed to Fox News Digital that Friday night’s town hall was originally scheduled for the April congressional recess, but had to be rescheduled because Ocasio-Cortez was sick. She posted an Instagram story two weeks ago apologizing for canceling.
Earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez did not rule out 2028 presidential aspirations when asked by Fox News Digital about the viral video that had pundits guessing whether she were soft-launching her campaign.

«I think what people should be most concerned about is the fact that Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid right now, and people’s healthcare is in danger. That’s really what my central focus is,» the New York Democrat said when asked whether she is considering a run for president, despite President Donald Trump’s assurances that he wouldn’t cut Medicaid.
AOC CLAIMS ‘WE ARE ONE’ IN CAMPAIGN-STYLE VIDEO DESPITE YEARS OF INVOKING RACE, GENDER IN POLITICS
«This moment isn’t about campaigns, or elections, or about politics. It’s about making sure people are protected, and we’ve got people that are getting locked up for exercising their First Amendment rights. We’re getting two-year-olds that are getting deported into cells in Honduras. We’re getting people that are about to get kicked off of Medicaid. That, to me, is most important,» Ocasio-Cortez said on Capitol Hill on Trump’s 100th day in office.
Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign account posted a video on X last week that invigorated those rumors as the four-term Democrat from New York City and a progressive leader proclaimed, «We are one.»
«I’m a girl from the Bronx,» Ocasio-Cortez said on a campaign-style stage in Idaho. «To be welcomed here in this state, all of us together, seeing our common cause, this is what this country is all about.»
Americans reposted Ocasio-Cortez’s video across X, pointing to the video as proof of her 2028 presidential ambitions. «Get ready America. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will almost undoubtedly run for president in 2028,» political reporter Eric Daugherty said in response to the video.

‘WE ARE ONE’: AOC CAMPAIGN VIDEO SWIRLS 2028 PRESIDENTIAL RUMORS
As rumors swirl over Ocasio-Cortez’s ambition for higher office, back at home in New York, a Siena College poll found that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s favorability is down, at 39% among New York state voters questioned in the poll, which was conducted April 14 through 16. Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez’s favorability soared to 47%.
The longtime senator from New York faced pushback from the Democratic Party in March for supporting the Republican budget bill backed by Trump that averted a government shutdown and stirred up outrage among congressional Democrats who planned to boycott the bill.

POLLSTER NATE SILVER CALLS OCASIO-CORTEZ MOST LIKELY TO BE 2028 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE
That growing disapproval among Democrats was reflected in the poll, and the shifting perception comes as DNC vice chair David Hogg, through his political arm, Leaders We Deserve, faced blowback from the DNC for investing $20 million into electing younger Democrats to safe House Democrat seats.
Ocasio-Cortez raked in a massive $9.6 million over the past three months. The record-breaking fundraising haul was one of the biggest ever for any House lawmaker. Ocasio-Cortez’s team highlighted that the fundraising came from 266,000 individual donors, with an average contribution of just $21.

«I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of people supporting us with your time, resources, & energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities,» Ocasio-Cortez emphasized in a social media post.

Eslovenia declaró el estado de ciberamenaza tras detectar memorias USB infectadas fabricadas en China
El gobierno de Eslovenia declaró este lunes el estado de ciberamenaza y ordenó la suspensión inmediata del uso de memorias USB fabricadas en China, tras descubrir que estos dispositivos, utilizados en el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y otras instituciones estatales, estaban infectados con un gusano informático que podría facilitar actividades de espionaje.
La policía eslovena inició una investigación para determinar cómo se adquirieron las memorias USB y en qué momento se introdujo el software malicioso, ya sea en China, durante el transporte o una vez en Eslovenia. “No podemos dar más detalles para proteger los intereses de la investigación en curso”, señaló la policía a la emisora N1 Eslovenia.
Uroš Svete, director de la Oficina Estatal de Seguridad Informática, explicó en una rueda de prensa en Liubliana que los gusanos informáticos representan una amenaza significativa para la ciberseguridad, ya que los equipos infectados son más vulnerables a ataques. Estos gusanos pueden ser utilizados para descargar remotamente software que recopile datos de los ordenadores de la administración pública eslovena.
Aunque no se ha proporcionado información oficial sobre la cantidad de memorias USB afectadas, se estima que fueron adquiridas por una veintena de instituciones estatales diferentes, incluyendo ministerios y agencias. La empresa Extra Lux, con sede en Liubliana y responsable de importar estos dispositivos desde China, afirmó que los entregó a los clientes en su embalaje original, sin realizar ningún tipo de modificación.
Este incidente se produce menos de dos años después de que el Ministerio de Exteriores esloveno fuera objeto de un ciberataque atribuido a un “tercer Estado”, según informó en su momento la ministra de Exteriores, Tanja Fajon. Aunque no se especificó el país responsable, el ataque fue calificado de “grave” y se indicó que había estado en marcha durante un tiempo considerable.
Los dispositivos USB han sido identificados como vectores comunes para la propagación de malware. Según un informe de Honeywell, las amenazas diseñadas para utilizarse en medios extraíbles crecieron en 15 puntos porcentuales en un año, representando el 52% de las amenazas de seguridad cibernética.
Eslovenia ha estado fortaleciendo su postura en ciberseguridad en los últimos años. En 2020, el país firmó una declaración conjunta con Estados Unidos sobre la seguridad de las redes 5G, subrayando su compromiso con la protección de infraestructuras críticas.
El ciberespionaje atribuido a China ha sido objeto de creciente preocupación internacional en los últimos años, con múltiples incidentes que han afectado a gobiernos, empresas y organizaciones en diversas en Europa.
En mayo de 2025, la República Checa denunció un ciberataque contra su Ministerio de Exteriores, atribuido al grupo de hackers chino APT31, presuntamente vinculado a los servicios de inteligencia de Beijing. El incidente provocó condenas y muestras de solidaridad por parte de la Unión Europea, la OTAN, Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Australia. El ministro de Exteriores checo calificó el ataque de “campaña cibernética hostil”.
En Bélgica, entre 2021 y 2023, piratas informáticos chinos vulneraron un software de seguridad y accedieron al correo electrónico del Servicio de Seguridad del Estado Belga (VSSE), desviando el 10% de los correos electrónicos. La ministra de Justicia confirmó la brecha y presentó una denuncia ante la Fiscalía federal. Aunque el ataque no afectó información clasificada, comprometió potencialmente los datos personales de la mitad de los miembros de la Seguridad belga.
En 2009, se descubrió una vasta operación de espionaje electrónico denominada GhostNet, con origen mayoritario en China. Esta red logró infiltrarse en al menos 1.295 computadoras en 103 países, incluyendo embajadas y oficinas gubernamentales. Aunque la actividad se basaba mayormente en China, no hubo evidencia concluyente de que el gobierno chino estuviera involucrado en la operación.

DHS fires back at Democrats for ‘beyond the pale’ rhetoric as ICE agents face wave of violent threats
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is continuing to call on Democrats to tone down the rhetoric against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents as riots not only persisted in Los Angeles Sunday night, but agents continue to face threats of doxxing and violence.
The department has taken issue with not only California leaders but also House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
«The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless rioters is despicable and Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must call for it to end,» DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Saturday statement. «The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the lives of American citizens.»

«Make no mistake, Democrat politicians like Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE,» McLaughlin stated. «From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale. This violence against ICE must end.»
The department says there’s been a 413% increase in assaults against ICE agents, which comes as the riots in Los Angeles are centered against the presence of the agency in the city.
Wu and Jeffries recently faced criticism for their comments on ICE agents masking while conducting sweeps to conceal their identity for safety reasons.
«Every single ICE agent who is engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that,» Jeffries said on Capitol Hill.
«This is America. This is not the Soviet Union,» he added, saying identification is needed to comply with the law and have proper «transparency.» «We’re not behind the Iron Curtain. This is not the 1930s. And every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will of course be identified.»
Wu was slammed for comments where she drew a tie between ICE and neo-Nazi group Nationalist Social Club-131 for the masking decision, which DHS called «sickening,» according to the Boston Herald.

«I don’t know of any police department that routinely wears masks,» Wu said. «We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks. NSC-131 routinely wears masks.»
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2024, also controversially drew a comparison to the Nazis in May.

«I’m gonna start with the flashing red light — Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,» Walz claimed at a University of Minnesota law school commencement speech. «They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons. No chance to mount a defense. Not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye. Just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared.»
In California, the anti-ICE riots triggered an order from President Donald Trump to deploy to the National Guard, which Newsom is expected to take legal action against. Newsom repeatedly has said that the Trump administration has instigated the situation «to manufacture chaos and violence,» and has said that those who are committing «violent acts» will face legal repercussions and are playing into the president’s hands.

«Continued chaotic federal sweeps, across California, to meet an arbitrary arrest quota are as reckless as they are cruel,» Newsom stated Friday. «Donald Trump’s chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America’s economy.»
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called on residents not to «engage in violence and chaos» and to not «give the administration what they want,» Sunday in an X post, but faced scrutiny for Friday comments saying that «these tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city.»

When Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom’s office about DHS’ comments, they sent a link to a post in which Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons credited Newsom for complying with ICE detainers for those already behind bars.
Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Wu, Bass, Walz and Jeffries and did not receive replies.
