Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, representing Illinois' 3rd district, recently expressed her opposition to H.R. 35 through a series of tweets dated February 13, 2025. Her statements focused on the implications of the proposed bill on civil rights and due process.
In one tweet posted on February 13, 2025, Congresswoman Ramirez stated that "First, fleeing border patrol is ALREADY a crime under current law, and a conviction already makes a person deportable." Link
Another tweet from the same date highlighted her concerns about the bill's impact on legal residents: "What is new is that H.R. 35 erodes due process and our civil rights. The bill makes someone deportable (including lawful permanent residents) without ever being charged, tried, or convicted of a crime." Link
Concluding her remarks on February 13, she declared the bill unconstitutional and unAmerican with the statement: "The bill is unconstitutional and unAmerican, and I voted NO." Link
