Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, a representative of Illinois' 3rd district, relayed a series of messages on April 1, 2025, addressing various issues pertinent to her constituents and activities. Ramirez, who succeeded Marie Newman in 2023 and has a background in the Illinois House of Representatives, uses social media to engage with her community and advocate for legislative priorities.

On that day, Ramirez announced an event targeted at business owners in her district, tweeting: "Business owners in #IL03! Join us for a virtual Know Your Rights workshop this Wednesday, April 5th at 6 pm! Learn about your rights and the rights of your employees in the face of unlawful immigration enforcement. Spanish interpretation will be available. Please RSVP for https://t.co/Fcm6vTmqdG". The workshop will focus on ensuring that business owners and their employees are informed of their rights regarding immigration enforcement, with Spanish interpretation services available for attendees.

In a subsequent post at 18:01 UTC, Ramirez conveyed her support for Senator Booker with the message: "I went to the Senate to support Senator Booker. I intend to bring his courage to the House Floor.". This suggests her active involvement and collaboration with legislative colleagues, amplifying efforts she admires within the Senate to the House of Representatives.

Later, at 18:45 UTC, Ramirez turned her attention to the economic strains facing her constituents, particularly in housing. In her post she warned about rising living costs and noted culpability for this trend: "Rent is already too damn high. Trump's tariffs will make housing more expensive and drive up the cost of rent for working people. But it's not just the tariffs. It's the cuts to housing programs, the elimination of Medicare, SNAP and WIC, and the gutting of the federal." Ramirez opposed current economic policies and budget cuts she attributes to exacerbating financial struggles for many.
