Delia C. Ramirez, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Illinois' 3rd district, shared her views on immigration reform and poverty awareness through a series of tweets on January 27, 2025. Ramirez, who succeeded Marie Newman in 2023, has been an advocate for comprehensive policy changes since her tenure began.

In a tweet posted at 17:00 UTC on January 27, Ramirez criticized the current state of immigration policies under former President Trump's administration. She stated: "They say, 'do it the legal way' and then cancel hearings and appointments for asylum seekers seeking a 'legal way.' There's dissonance there." She emphasized the need for humane and comprehensive immigration reform as part of her legislative efforts.

Later that day at 19:33 UTC, Ramirez announced an opening with a brief message: "Open Today! " The tweet included a link to further information but did not provide additional context within the text itself.

At 22:09 UTC on the same day, Ramirez recognized efforts made by the Illinois Poor People's Campaign during National Poverty Awareness Month. She expressed gratitude towards the organization with these words: "For National Poverty Awareness Month, I took to the House Floor to recognize a coalition of leaders in the movement to end poverty: Illinois Poor People's Campaign. @UniteThePoor TY for your work for justice, equality, and a true democracy!"
