Thank you to the #IL03 constituents who joined me for an in-person town hall in Elgin last week. Being in conversation is essential to the work I'm doing to represent you in Congress. Stay tuned for the next one!

At a time when lifesaving services are being threatened and our diverse communities targeted, I am proud to have secured $3 million in federal funding to expand Onward House's services!

0.83 to 1.  For every $1 earned by their white male counterparts, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women earn about $0.83.    We must reaffirm our commitment to equal pay for equal work and keep fighting to close the unjust wage gaps women experience.

We can't bomb our way to peace. Israel’s attacks on Lebanon must stop.    Trump and Netanyahu must be held accountable. Congress must assert its authority, pass the Lebanon War Power Resolution that @reprashida.govpeeps.us and I introduced, and BLOCK THE BOMBS!

Last week, we convened our first ever Women Lead Summit! Joined by mujeres poderosas fighting for our communities in #IL03 and all over the world, we discussed how we build intersectional solidarity and expand our human rights. Together, we are creating the world we deserve.

Trump’s unhinged threats of violence and genocide are inexcusable.   He is a warmonger, escalating the conflict for his own profit and consolidation of power.   My Republican colleagues can't keep turning a blind eye. He must be stopped and impeached.

The Trump administration wants us unhoused, uninsured, unemployed. From criminalizing homelessness to ending decades of precedent around housing for mixed-status families, they will stop at nothing to profit from our pain.

Wishing all who celebrate in #IL03 and across the county a joyful Easter! May this holy time's celebration of renewal and new beginnings sustain our hope.

There are always TRILLIONS for wars at home and abroad, but when it comes to funding our health care and the critical programs working families rely on...they say hell no!

Republicans in Congress have sworn that there is no correlation between the Administration and the Heritage Foundation’s plan, but the facts don't lie. They are moving full steam ahead with implementing Project 2025.

To all those observing Good Friday in #IL03, may this time of remembrance, prayer, and reflection strengthen our resolve to honor our shared humanity.

Bondi and Noem are out. But our work isn't over. Bondi and Noem must be impeached and never hold public office again. PUNTO.

To everyone observing Passover in #IL03 and beyond, Chag Pesach Sameach!   May this holy time of reflection, tradition, and time with family and friends be joyful and meaningful.

List-making by the State is an authoritarian tactic to target, persecute, and terrorize.   Trump’s executive order to create a list of U.S. citizens for mail-in ballots is a desperate attempt to cling to power.   We will not back down. We will continue to protect our democracy.

Today, the Supreme Court is hearing President Trump's white supremacist arguments about birthright citizenship.   Let’s be clear: Everyone born in the U.S. is a citizen. Period.

On Transgender Visibility Day, and every day, we must recommit to confronting and dismantling every policy and practice that denies our trans neighbors dignity and respect. I will continue the fight to ensure they have every single thing they need to thrive.

Tomorrow, SCOTUS and the whole country will listen to the Trump Administration defend their white supremacist agenda.

The death penalty has always been inhumane. And in a system that has been weaponized against Palestinians, the Israeli government will utilize capital punishment to further a genocide under the guise of legality.

After cutting millions off from their health care, Republicans want to make even MORE cuts. According to Republicans, we have money for bombs, but none for health care.    Budgets are moral documents. And Republicans have made their priorities clear: death and destruction at home and abroad.

Trump's administration is eroding every program that ensures due process for immigrants and pathway towards citizenship. They have made the citizenship process just another avenue by which they can profit, only accessible for those who can afford Trump's golden visa.

Trump’s Board of Peace is a money laundering scam. Billionaires are stealing $1.25B in taxpayer dollars to develop Gaza into their personal Riviera! The Board of Peace isn’t about peacekeeping or aid; it’s about profit.

On Palm Sunday, Christians across the world commemorate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem in a way that nonviolently, but directly, challenged the imperialism of Rome and the corruption of the political and religious elite. It is fitting that Palm Sunday follows our own historic day of protest.

From Palestine to Iran, our bombs are killing women and children – little girls yearning to learn – and displacing thousands.

All across the country, Americans are organizing to defend our neighbors and our democracy! Remember, you have rights. No kings. No despots. No authoritarians. No warmongers.

I went to the floor to tell Steven's story. Steven is a 14-year-old constituent of IL-03 with autism who was detained at Dilley for 66 days.

Just a reminder that in the Big Ugly Law, DHS received over $150 BILLION. $10 BILLION of that funding was appropriated by Republicans for discretionary use. That means it could've been used by the Administration to pay TSA workers.

Migration & access to care are inextricably tied. Last week, I led the Global Migration Caucus in a roundtable to discuss how restrictive policies on reproductive care, a lack of access to health care, & the oppression of marginalized communities are all drivers of migration in the U.S. & abroad.

Just as they did in Gaza, Israeli troops are killing women and children and displacing thousands in Lebanon. That's why I am co-leading a War Powers resolution with Rep. Tlaib to reject the illegal occupation and end military aid for Israel's siege of Lebanon.

Let the record show: Trump could've signed the executive order to pay TSA day 1.   TSA and federal workers did not have to miss a single paycheck.

Cuba is experiencing a nationwide power grid collapse and people are struggling to access food and health care because of Trump and Rubio’s inexcusable blockade. The State Department must ensure the safety and security of ALL the people sailing to deliver critical aid to Cubans.

It’s 2026 and women are still earning less than men for the same work.   I’ll continue to fight for a world where every woman gets what she's owed because when women are paid fairly, working families thrive and our economy grows.   Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act now!

Family & Medical Leave (FMLA) ensures VA employees can take the time they need to care for their family members. But Sec Collin's VA believes in-laws shouldn't be counted as family. We must pass @ramirez.house.gov's HR 7948 to ensure VA employees can care for all members of their family when needed.

“This agency of terror needs to be dismantled,” says Congressmember Delia Ramirez of Illinois. “And whether it is Mullin, whether it is Noem, whether it’s Tom Homan, that agency is dangerous, and every American should say, ‘Enough is enough.’”

The chaos in our airports is intentional. The pain inflicted on TSA workers is intentional. Deploying ICE to intimidate Americans is intentional. Trump is creating the conditions to privatize the TSA—just as Project 2025 demanded.

It is sickening, infuriating, and heartbreaking that a child would be subjected to such cruelty. Every act of torture and dehumanization Palestinians are subjected to is a crime against humanity.

Trump has lied and fearmongered about our elections to try to convince Americans to give up our right to vote. We have to see his action for what it is: a page out of the authoritarian playbook to erode democratic institutions, disenfranchise Americans, and remain in power.

We speak to Congressmember Delia Ramirez about Trump's new DHS secretary, the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court, the U.S. fuel blockade against Cuba and more.

🚨STARTING AT 2:15 PM ET – the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will conduct a legislative hearing on 12 bills. To listen to Ranking Member @ramirez.house.gov's opening remarks, tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlpW...

The care denied, the family separation, and the inhuman conditions of immigration detention are inflicting irreparable trauma on our communities, especially in children and women. Protecting children and women REQUIRES defending immigrant rights.

As authoritarians do, Trump continues abusing military power to threaten and seek to control our communities. There is no need for ICE or the National Guard to be in U.S. airports. Republicans can join Democrats and vote today to fund TSA and other essential functions.

The Senate will soon vote to confirm Sen. Mullin as DHS Secretary. Every Senate Democrat should be voting HELL NO!

It took less than 24 hours before ICE agents at airports violently brutalized a woman in front of her daughter. Republicans need to fund TSA and other essential functions and get ICE out of our communities. We must abolish ICE and dismantle DHS.

There is no difference between Noem and Mullin. They are both unqualified, anti-immigrant loyalists. Mullin - as Noem did - will implement Trump and Miller’s campaign of terror without question. Democratic Senators must hold the line today. Shame on any Democratic Senator who sells out.

Fetterman is a sellout! Yeah, I said it. No Democrat should be voting to confirm Mullin.

Fetterman is a sellout! Yeah, I said it. No Democrat should be voting to confirm Mullin.

Starting tomorrow, ICE agents will be deployed to airports. It is important that we remain informed about our rights. If you are planning a trip, there are resources to understand your rights at airports and to make safety plans. 1/2

Memorializing Children Massacred in Minab, Progressive Lawmakers Demand 'Not One More Bomb' Be Dropped on Iran "Our dollars are advancing the pain of our global neighbors," said Rep. Delia Ramirez. "We here today are saying 'enough.'"

Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill) talked to me about Trump's war on Cuba, Iran and Lebanon and how corporate media is failing us in failing to honestly cover this!! youtu.be/uErmjvN9GO8?...
