WASHINGTON– As Illinois and the Midwest’s first Latina congresswoman, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) said she feels a responsibility to uplift immigrant communities like those she came from. This has meant protesting President Donald Trump and his administration’s attack on immigrants.
In early March, Ramirez organized a rally to voice support for Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson’s sanctuary policies, which have been a target of the Trump administration’s immigration raids. In the House, she also reintroduced the Dream and Promise Act to create a pathway for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, like her husband, to gain citizenship. These actions are part of her efforts to push back against the president’s immigration policies.
