I met with Kristi Noem face-to-face. She also repeated these dishonest talking points. But her lies didn't hold up under the weight of our constituents' experiences of inhumanity and abuse.

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress will continue to extract every bit of profit from us to enrich their billionaire bosses — including privatizing TSA.

Felicia’s three decade career in non-profit leadership and public service has blazed trails for women and girls across Chicago.

Despite a "ceasefire," Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon continue. Netanyahu and Trump are two unaccountable warmongers, violating ceasefires and driving us towards regional war. Enough!

DHS's detention centers are black boxes. DHS and the private prisons that run the centers reject transparency and can't be trusted. They are profiting from human suffering.

The Trump administration is branding dissenters as “domestic terrorists”, “communists”, “Marxists” in order justify the targeting, persecution, and violation of their rights. But this isn't the 1950’s and we won't fall for “Red Scare” tactics.

After Republicans stole a War Powers resolution from the American people, the warmongers in the Trump administration are bombing again. Americans do no want another endless war. Speaker Johnson must bring us back into session. We demand a vote to end this unlawful war!

Since the courts blocked the Trump administration's attempts to strip funding from sanctuary cities, Markwayne and Trump found another way to persecute welcoming states and cities.

Today, we commemorate fallen service members and remember them with all those who honor their lives and sacrifice.   This Memorial Day, let's honor their memories by committing to serve those still with us, care for their loved ones, and build a multicultural, multiracial democracy.

“The threat of fascism, the erosion of the rule of law and the end of democratic governance are ultimately on the line.” @ramirez.house.gov writes on Operation Midway Blitz, DHS abuses in Illinois and the demand for an independent prosecutor.

I stand in solidarity with the Islamic Center of San Diego and share my condolences to the families of Amin Abdulla, Mansour Kaziha, and Nadir Awad, who were murdered in a horrific, hate-fueled attack on the Muslim community.

I stand in solidarity with the immigrants detained at the SoCal ICE detention facility who launched a hunger strike to denounce the neglect and inhumane conditions in ICE detention.

When we fight, we win!

The Trump administration, after unlawfully detaining and imprisoning Abrego at CECOT, targeted him and tried to make an example out of him. 

But we fought. And today, the courts have declared that the government must leave Abrego and his family alone.

Attention, #IL03! My offices will be closed Monday, May 25, 2026, in observance of Memorial Day. If you have an emergency while we're closed, call 733-799-8219, leave a message, and a member of our team will reach out. We will be back Tuesday, May 26, 2026, ready to serve you.

Last week, I honored a longtime Chicago leader, an organizer for housing justice, and my dear friend, John McDermott. There are few people whose names are as synonymous with housing justice as John's – whose legacy fighting for affordable housing is written across our city.

Edlow and the administration continue to weaponize USCIS to push their white nationalist agenda. USCIS's new policy is beyond cruel – it would separate countless families, spouses, and mothers from their children.

We were scheduled to vote to rein in Trump's unlawful war in Iran. We would have passed it. Then, Republicans pulled down the vote. House Republicans, led by Speaker Johnson, have conceded congressional power and bowed down to their supreme leader, Donald Trump.

Fascism always requires a public enemy. The Trump administration’s latest executive order to surveil bank accounts is meant to terrorize immigrants and make it harder for them to navigate daily life.

When our collective safety, rule of law, and democratic governance are on the line, disappointment won't deter us. We will continue to demand justice, defend our democracy, and stand in solidarity with our most vulnerable neighbors. 1/2

The violence Palestinians face at the hands of the Israeli government, the IDF, and Israeli authorities is a crime against humanity.

This month, I joined Rep. Rashida Tlaib to demand the administration uphold our laws and pressure the Israeli military to allow the flotilla to safely continue its mission.

We must reject the Trump administration’s cruelty that is robbing our children and families from a future of safety, security, and every single thing they need to thrive. We must fight like heaven and hell for our children's futures and put an END to family detention!

Once again, Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself and his family – this time by giving himself full immunity from tax audits. The corruption, lack of transparency, and unlawfulness makes it clear that Congress must do its job and impeach.

Tomorrow, a judge will decide whether to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate alleged crimes by federal agents during Operation Midway Blitz. @ramirez.house.gov says that “The threat of fascism… and the end of democratic governance are ultimately on the line.”

Tomorrow, a judge will rule whether to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate crimes by federal agents during Operation Midway Blitz. Our communities have been organizing and demanding accountability. Our call must not go unanswered.

Right now, Trump and Rubio are executing the imperialist playbook - the same one they used in Venezuela and Iran - to justify another unauthorized and unlawful military invasion. @velazquez.house.gov and I released the following statement urging Congress to pass a war powers resolution.

Republicans are trying to pass a $72 billion Reconciliation bill to fund ICE and CBP. We must hold the line!

Yesterday, Senate Republicans moved part of the $72 billion reconciliation bill out of committee to fund ICE, terrorize our communities, and violate our rights.   They voted down every amendment from Democrats, each intended to rein in DHS’s lawlessness.

List-making by the State is an authoritarian tactic to target, persecute, and terrorize. PUNTO. Let’s be clear: the federal government does not fund health care for undocumented people.

Blatant corruption is intentional. It is how authoritarians reward loyalists and consolidate power.

Separating more than 100,000 children—including U.S. citizens—from their families is despicable. The trauma DHS's cruel, inhumane violence will have long lasting impact in our communities. DHS can’t be reformed. To protect our children, we must abolish ICE and dismantle DHS.

I stand with the Islamic Center of San Diego as they confront the violence that shook their community today.   While the investigation continues, we mourn with those grieving the pain and trauma of today's violence and loss and affirm that we must root out violence and hatred in all their forms.

Right now, Trump and Rubio are executing the imperialist playbook - the same one they used in Venezuela and Iran - to justify another unauthorized and unlawful military invasion. @velazquez.house.gov and I released the following statement urging Congress to pass a war powers resolution.

Trump administration is betraying the promise we made as a nation to care for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses. M.G. came to the U.S. seeking safety and security after being tortured. Instead he was deported and disappeared by the Trump administration.

My Renewed Mandate for Human Rights Resolution would designate a United States Human Rights Commission and presents a progressive commitment to universal human rights, calling Congress to reject policies of racism, colonialism, capitalism, imperialism, White supremacy, and patriarchy.

Trump, Miller, Markwayne, and Edlow have weaponized USCIS to push their white nationalist agenda. The agency’s new tactic to deport green card holders betrays USCIS’s mission to uphold America’s promise as a nation of possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all.

From Iran to Cuba, U.S. imperialism is worsening human suffering.    As a result of Trump and Rubio's sanctions, Cuba’s power grid is collapsing- leaving families in darkness and without essential services. Now, the administration is threatening military action.

78 years ago, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages destroyed during the Nakba. Today, millions of Palestinians continue to be displaced and thousands have died because of the Israeli government's genocide.

To no surprise, Markwayne is moving forward with the plan of converting commercial warehouses to detention centers. No matter who is at the helm of DHS, their mandate has not changed.

This morning, I hosted a shadow hearing with @sylviagarcia.house.gov on how the Trump administration's rapid expansion of 287(g) agreements to deputize local law enforcement for its mass deportation agenda is harming our communities.

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks’s resignation is another testament to the people’s organizing and pressure. But just like Noem and Bovino, he will not escape accountability. They must be held accountable for their violence against our communities, and we must dismantle DHS.

"'Private detention centers that contract with ICE will now *run* ICE. That’s probably the easiest way to explain it,' Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), told me." That is as ominous as it sounds. The latest edition of Huddled Masses from @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:

Fascism always requires a public enemy. With the subpoena of Chicago Public School leadership, Republicans have set their sights on our schools.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at last week’s in-person town hall in Portage Park! Being in community and hearing from you is essential to the work I’m doing to represent you in Congress. I will continue fighting for every single thing working families need to thrive.

I introduced the Renewed Mandate for Human Rights, a resolution to designate a United States Human Rights Commission and affirm our commitment to upholding universal human rights and dignity.

The entire Trump administration and their donors have used DHS to enrich themselves. They've padded their pockets by profiting from people’s pain. Yes, we must fully investigate the blatant corruption. But DHS will continue to be a money laundering machine until we defund and dismantle it!

Through sanctions and unlawful threats of military action, the Trump administration is deepening the humanitarian crisis in Cuba. At the same time, they are once again threatening to use the Guantanamo Base, a prison with a history of dehumanizing and abusing people, to detain Cuban immigrants.

Rep. Delia Ramirez has introduced a sweeping resolution that builds on her prior call to dismantle DHS and ICE. The resolution calls to redirect massive military spending toward pro-peace initiatives and create an unprecedented independent federal commission to monitor human rights violations.

The courts have been clear: Trump administration’s mass incarceration of our neighbors is illegal. In the courts, in the streets, and in Congress, we will continue resisting the administration's cruel, unlawful, for-profit, anti-immigrant campaign of terror.

Warmongers, authoritarians, despots, and oligarchs want our resources, they want our land, our freedoms, and our lives to advance their imperialist agendas across the world and enrich themselves.
