The genocide has not ended. The Israeli military continues to drop U.S.-made bombs in Gaza, murdering children, devastating families, and destroying what is left of Gaza. Congress must act to save Palestinians' lives and hold warmongers accountable. That starts by passing my Block the Bombs Act.

“Shame on us Democrats if we again do not meet the moment when it comes to immigration and when it comes to justice as it pertains to ICE and CBP and DHS,” Rep. Delia Ramirez told The Intercept. interc.pt/481C6g5

There is no reforming an agency created to violate our rights and empowered to act with impunity.   It’s time to reimagine true safety for our communities without DHS, ICE, and CBP. My Reimagining Safety Act does just that.

Our communities demand justice! Justice for the horrors they lived, for the healthcare they lost, for the necessities they cannot afford.

Each month, I proudly recognize the bold and courageous advocates, leaders, and community members of IL-03 on the House floor.

Reimagine Safety. Living Wages. Abolish ICE. Block the Bombs. Medicare for All. Pathways to Citizenship. Tax the Rich. Let's get it done!

#IL03, join us for a Medicare and Social Security info session & enrollment workshop on Friday, November 13, from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM! My office and partner organizations will be present to help you navigate your Social Security and Medicare benefits as well as other federal and state assistance.

Illinois' Democratic members of Congress are hopeful they can begin to unwind Trump policies. For U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, the plan is to “do every damn thing we can to protect [constituents] as quickly as possible." The latest from @tinasfon.bsky.social on IL's role in the national blue wave.

Noem, Markwayne, Miller, Homan, Bovino, what’s up? Clear your schedule.

We thank @ramirez.house.gov for pursuing humane immigration reform via “People’s Vision for Immigration Reform,” and calling for expansion of pathways to citizenship: https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ahead-elections-ramirez-immigration-advocates-introduce-people-centered-vision

The best way to protect our right to vote is to exercise it! Remember, in Illinois: ✅ Polls are open till 7 PM CT ✅ You can request up to 2 hours off of work to vote ✅ You can still vote after the polls close if you are in line by 7 PM CT

DHS's lies must end.    @salinas.house.gov and I introduced the ICE Shooting Transparency Act to require that DHS share evidence related to ICE and CBP officer involved shootings with local law enforcement, facilitate investigations, and ensure justice for the victims of DHS's terror.

Attention, #IL03! My DC and district offices will be closed November 3, 2026 in observance of Election Day. Our offices will be ready to serve you in person when we reopen on Wednesday, November 4th.

DHS immigration detention is deadly; and as a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I will use every level and tool at my disposal to conduct oversight.

Trump’s fascist mass deportation agenda is costing Illinois' taxpayers $269 BILLION. Billions that could fund childcare, healthcare, and housing.

DHS is not rogue. It was designed to be a weapon and to embolden agent impunity. But we are onto them. In the courts, in the streets, and in Congress we will hold every perpetrator of violence accountable. Together, we will reimagine safety without DHS, ICE, and CBP!

An ICE officer accused of intentionally ramming his car into a Mexican construction worker in Houston is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, prosecutors say.

¡Feliz día de los muertos!   Across Latin America and our communities, many families gather today to honor their loved ones who have passed away.

“Getting rid of ICE is not enough.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and Rep. @ramirez.house.gov discuss dismantling DHS and ICE’s origins after 9/11. The conversation took place at our Night Flower screening in Chicago. Watch more: zeteo.com/p/this-congr...

There are millions of reasons we must end detention, abolish ICE, and dismantle DHS.   Our neighbors are living their worst nightmares in detention, and they are asking us to take action today.   Congress can't keep turning a blind eye. We must pass my Reimagining Safety Act.

Block the Bombs Act is the bare minimum: a clear, practical measure supported by 82 members of Congress to end the genocide!    Trump and Netanyahu will not stop until Congress has the moral clarity and courage to act.

Every worker deserves safe working conditions. Weakening respiratory mask rules in workplaces is an attack on workers’ rights!   I joined @warren.senate.gov and @repilhan.bsky.social in demanding the Trump administration protect our workers from inhaling dangerous chemicals.

Rep. Ilhan Omar@repilhan.bsky.social · 7d ago

No job should ever be a death sentence. OSHA’s decision to roll back respirator mask regulations will kill American workers. I joined @warren.senate.gov in demanding Trump’s OSHA immediately reverse these reckless rollbacks.

The greatest threat to our elections are the lies and threats of Trump and his loyalists.    But we know our rights and we will not be intimidated! The best way to protect our right to vote is to exercise it! We will ensure free and safe elections in the courts, in Congress, and in the streets!

I am heartbroken by the passing of my friend Michelle Morales, a fearless leader and light for so many of our communities.

Through 287(g) programs, 29,000 local police officers were deputized by ICE. DHS has turned officers into bounty hunters for profit, endangering our communities. It’s time to end 287(g) agreements, dismantle DHS, and abolish ICE. Let’s pass my Reimagining Safety Act.

Attention, #IL03! Your public officials are hosting an intergovernmental town hall on Saturday, November 14th, at 10am.

From the start, I called out Trump and Rubio for lying, consolidating power, and committing war crimes to seize Venezuelan oil and pursue regime change for their imperialistic agenda in the Western Hemisphere.

ProPublica@propublica.org · last wk.

In case you missed it: The Trump administration is buying a stake in a private oil firm, and investors in the company could receive enormous wealth from the arrangement. The role of the Venezuelan government and the potential benefits to its people are largely absent from the text of the deal.

Dime con quién andas y te dire quién eres. Again, Trump is showing up for his authoritarian friends.

Breaking News: President Trump and his aides helped the Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who faces multiple criminal investigations, enter the U.S. on a temporary status and are likely to grant him permanent residency later, officials said. nyti.ms/3WCDrHz

Let me say it again: DHS has always been a weapon to be pointed at anyone the government deems a public enemy... and fascism ALWAYS requires a public enemy.

ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations is engaged in far-reaching spying against left-wing activists that rivals the FBI and CIA crackdowns on the Civil Rights and anti-war movements.
