Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, representing Illinois' 3rd district since 2023, has recently expressed her views on significant issues through a series of tweets. These posts cover topics such as reproductive rights, immigration legislation, and housing discrimination.

On January 22, 2025, Congresswoman Ramirez marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade by stating that "Today marks 52 years of Roe v. Wade." She emphasized the importance of having the right to control one's body and life and criticized judges and legislators for denying necessary healthcare. Ramirez pledged to continue fighting to make choice a legal right nationwide. The original tweet can be found here.

Later that day, she addressed legislative matters concerning immigration with a post stating: "S.5 is H.R. 29: It STILL scapegoats and criminalizes immigrants and STILL erodes our constitutional right to due process. So, I voted NO, again." This indicates her opposition to the bill in question due to its implications on immigrant rights and due process protections. The tweet is available here.

On January 23, 2025, Congresswoman Ramirez discussed housing discrimination following an investigation's findings. She asserted that "This investigation only confirms what we already know: housing discrimination is real." She advocated for stronger renter protections through legislative measures like her proposed Tenants Right to Organize Act to hold landlords accountable and protect tenants from discriminatory practices.
