“We are under attack by our own federal government,” says Democratic Congressmember for Illinois Delia Ramirez about Trump’s immigration crackdown in Chicago. “What we’re seeing is an agency that has gone rogue, that has been emboldened and that thinks that they’re above the law.” She urges Americans to report and record ICE activity to strengthen future legal battles, “because what ICE is stating and what we’re seeing in the community in the streets is inconsistent.” Congressmember Ramirez also comments on the ongoing federal government shutdown, which she calls “a clear embodiment of Donald Trump’s leadership: starve and let people die while the billionaires and his cronies enrich themselves,” the Republican leadership’s continued refusal to swear in new Democratic Congressmember-elect Adelita Grijalva, and the Trump-backed Gaza ceasefire.
