Fox News' Bill Melugin noted on Tuesday that "proud anchor baby" Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, who said last year at the second annual Panamerican Congress in Mexico City, "I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American," would be holding a press conference on Wednesday in which she'd be calling for Congress to pass her Reimagining Safety Act, which would not only abolish ICE but dismantle the entire Department of Homeland Security.
NEW: Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), who has said she is a “proud anchor baby”, will hold a press conference in Chicago tomorrow morning to introduce legislation that would “dismantle DHS” & “abolish ICE”.

Ramirez says her “Reimagining Safety Act” would “repeal the authorities that…
The post continues:
…give DHS its power, and redirect all funds from DHS to programs that working families rely on,” as well as “create a new human- and community-centered federal department that promotes collective safety.”
Keep in mind, dismantling all of DHS would include dismantling Border Patrol, CBP, the Coast Guard, and Secret Service, not just ICE.

Oh, also TSA.

Julio Rosas was at her press conference on Wednesday:
Rep. Delia Ramirez, who said she is more proud to be Guatemalan than American, says in Spanish:

NEW: Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) says DHS is "the single greatest threat to our public safety today" while announcing a bill that dismantles DHS entirely & abolishes ICE. She claims her bill would keep TSA, FEMA, and CISA, but would get rid of ICE, CBP, and Border Patrol, and that…

The post continues:
… customs work at ports of entry and airports would somehow continue, even though she would be eliminating the agency responsible for that customs work (CBP).
No CBP/Border Patrol/ICE = complete open borders and an end to all immigration enforcement entirely.
Ramirez says she will introduce the legislation in the coming weeks, and she knows it will be "agitating".
"Let's be frank, we know that this bill is going to be agitational," Ramirez said. "When they ask us why we made the choices we made, we're going to remind them of the moment we're living. We're going to remind them that in the last 72 hours, 28 year old Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez was shot in the back. And as of yesterday, he slept with a bullet in his back. We're going to remind them that the 57th person died in custody since January of 2025."
Rep. Ramirez has described herself as a "proud anchor baby".
If you cannot protect and enforce your territory, then you do not have a country.

Look up the definition of “country.”
Borders. Territory. Sovereignty.
Plain and simple.
She only reminds people that too many Hispanic politicians want open borders and no immigration enforcement. If she thinks Hispanics will be better off in a country predominantly Hispanic with Hispanic leaders she needs to study why so many Hispanics flee that kind of country.

The bill isn't agitational. It's delusional and nonsensical at best.

The Democrat party is the single greatest threat to our public safety today.
— Chris (@FuriousChef) September 23, 2026
At least she is being honest about what the Democrats really want.

Yep. Anchor babies should be writing our immigration enforcement and homeland security laws. She’s just as American as George Washington. Our tolerating this is insane.
— Aspen Columbus (@DoCoChieftain) September 23, 2026
Do they understand that our international airports are also borders? They're stupid and insane.

Wait, CBP out? So i just walk across the border with my backpack?

Democrats want open borders. Makes it impossible to vote for them despite all of the grievences I have with the GOP.
— Amit Likhyani (@amitlikhyani) September 23, 2026
Well if you’re for open borders like she is then it makes sense that she doesn’t think we need border patrol or enforcement of our immigration laws anywhere in the country. People like her are global citizens not Americans.
— Trixi Qui (@chicatrixy) September 23, 2026
Someone should hand her a copy of the Constitution and remind her that it’s her job to help protect this nation, our sovereignty, and the borders—not to weaken it.

Sorry Delia, not happening. If you had just cooperated and handed over illegals from jail who had commited crimes... all would have been fine.

What a complete travesty this woman is.
— SkEptikalOne (@BSeelaus) September 23, 2026
If she's such a proud Guatemalan, she'd be better off putting her efforts behind getting illegal immigrants from Guatemala to self-deport back to that beautiful country.
