"I as a woman of color do not feel safe here," the New York Democrat told a female agent during her July 1, 2019, visit, according to government documents obtained by the Daily Signal through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Ocasio-Cortez went on "to personally admonish and berate" the agent after claiming the agent took a selfie with the congresswoman in the background.
The unnamed agent, however, denied the accusation of taking a selfie to her supervisor and in a memo that day. Her colleagues also denied seeing her take a photo, and her supervisor found no evidence of a picture on her phone.
AOC SCREAMED AT BORDER PATROL AGENTS IN 'THREATENING MANNER' DURING TOUR: WITNESSES
"Rep. Ocasio-Cortez abruptly voiced an allegation that a female agent outside of the REDACTED had just taken a selfie with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in the background," the agent in charge said in a memo dated July 2 and sent to the acting agent in charge. "Rep. Ocasio-Cortez not only verbally voiced this concern, she became agitated and animated as she began to bang on the glass, pointing and screaming at the agent."
The female agent "did admit to having her cell phone in her hand and showed me the current image on the screen," the agent in charge wrote. "The image appeared to me to be web-based and had nothing to do with interior photos of the detention area."
Ocasio-Cortez went on to accuse the agent of "unprofessional conduct and asking if she will have future contact with children," the agent in charge wrote the next day.
The socialist representative also tweeted about the visit after the Washington Examiner reported on the incident in 2019.
"And to these CBP officers saying they felt 'threatened' by me — They were literally discussing making a GoFundMe for an officer who attacked my on my tour. They confiscated my phone, and they were all armed. I'm 5'4".They're just upset I exposed their inhumane behavior," she tweeted.
Ocasio-Cortez's office did not immediately respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment on the documents.

2 year old squirrels are very scary ... @!@
This was from two years ago...
Your point? Obviously not anything on topic.
Actually, this statement in the seed makes it on topic.
So you see, despite the seeder's claim that this in NEW news, the source states clearly that the incident was reported 2 YEARS ago.
Sadly, distracting shinny objects seem to be !EXTRAS! for desperate Trumpists these days...
Sometimes seeders make claims about the content of their seeds that are false.
Sometimes a seed clearly proves those claims to be false and seeders admit that they were wrong.
Not all seeders obviously.
Oh but you DID Tex. You said:
I block quoted from YOUR seed:
The Washington Examiner is just rinsing and repeating !AOC! click bait and you bit hard...
You MIGHT want to acknowledge that the SOURCE of the story states that they reported on the incident 2 YEARS ago.
An incident we reported 2 YEARS ago happened.
You've attempted to obfuscate. You failed.
Good. I'll keep pointing out the NEW news you posted is OLD news.
I'll bow to your expertise on the subject.
Rinse and repeat Tex. Still OLD news.
Wow....I wouldn't have thought I'd see someone not understand what the word "old" means today.
But Dulay proved me wrong.
new and old are apparently advanced concepts for some.
Take heart Sean, you still haven't seen that.
Nothing NEW there.
Almost as comical as AOC are seeing the people who obsess about Donald Trump complain about a seed dealing with newly released information.
So, the yawn documents:
Seems the media and social internet darling has a very thin skin to go along with her very thin intelligence.
I doubt she feels safe anywhere as she can't get away from herself.
