Democratic Congresswoman Delia Ramirez has insisted that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is a “terrorist organization.”
Ramirez, who represents Illinois’s 3rd Congressional district since 2023, made the remarks during a speech at the Netroots Nations conference.
“Well Tom Homan, let me tell you all over the country we will to continue to stand up for our rights.”
”We will continue to call out the terrorist organization that is ICE.”
Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez, who is the daughter of illegal aliens and recently said she considers herself a “proud Guatemalan before an American,” calls ICE a “terrorist organization.”

Netroots Nations is a non-profit organization that holds an annual convention and “provides trainings, resources and connection opportunities to help progressive activists create a more progressive and just world.”
Such comments should come as no surprise given that Ramirez is herself the product of illegal aliens.
Ramirez is known as an “anchor baby,” which means her parents entered the country illegally and gave birth to her so she would obtain birthright citizenship.
During a recent event in Mexico City, Ramirez said that she felt more allegiance to the country of Guatemala than the United States.
“I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,” she said at the time.
Denaturalize and deport. I’m not even close to kidding. https://t.co/plPmzrSlWq

Many people responded to the admission by calling for her to be denaturalized and deported.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security quoted the words of former President Theodore Roosevelt.
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism,” the quote reads.
”Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.”
”We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism…Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”
