Rep. Delia Ramirez Tells Netroots Nation That ICE Is a Terrorist Organization

As Twitchy reported a week ago, Rep. Delia Ramirez traveled to Mexico City for the second annual Panamerican Congress. Other attendees from the U.S. included Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Ramirez caught conservatives' attention when she said in Spanish, "I'm a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American."

She didn't really say that, didn't she? Actually, when confronted, she doubled down, saying that honoring her Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens her commitment to America.

Making another trip this last weekend at Netroots Nation, Ramirez told the audience of lefties that ICE is a terrorist organization. She also told border czar Tom Homan that "we will continue to stand up for our rights," although who she meant by "we" is unclear—illegal aliens or members of Congress. 

So if ICE detains and deports Tren de Aragua gang members, ICE is the terrorist organization in that equation.

Yes, she's the daughter of illegal immigrants, and her husband is a DACA recipient, so you're welcome. We don't know how being born in Chicago makes one more Guatemalan than American.

The last we'd read, assaults on ICE agents were up 700 percent or so.

Thanks to gerrymandering, no.
