Nolte: Top AOC Aide Says He Self-Deported After 23 Years as an Illegal AlienJohn Nolte 11 Mar 2025
An illegal alien who worked as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) deputy communications director says he has self-deported to Colombia.
Diego de la Vega was born in Quito, Ecuador, and was seven years old when he entered the United States and then overstayed a visitor’s visa for 23 years living in New York City, which is a sanctuary city.
In an interview with Migrant Insider, de la Vega says that while growing up, “We lived in fear because we were not of the right status, but I had a pretty good childhood in New York. We worked hard, starting out in a basement apartment. But we went to school and got jobs.”
The former illegal alien says his political activism began with the Dream Act in 2010. After it failed to pass into law (thank heaven), “He started organizing for immigrant rights, first as a communications worker in the New York State Assembly, then for Make the Road NY, an immigrant rights organization.”
So that’s two jobs he stole from legal citizens.
Then it all came together:
His work did not go unnoticed. Within a year, he was hired by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s reelection campaign, where he eventually became her deputy communications director. “Alexandria comes from an organizing background herself, so she likes to hire people who share that experience,” he said. “She’s an excellent communicator, and the team she built is top-notch.”
