The resolution calls on the Secretary of HUD to withdraw the proposed rule and abide by section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 and the underlying congressional intent, which allows mixed-status families to receive federal housing assistance.
Congresswoman Ramirez is working to deliver relief for the broader immigrant community, create legal pathways to citizenship, keep families together, and help our communities and local economies thrive.
Evidence
Ramirez's campaign immigration page says she believes deportations tear families apart and says she is fighting to end deportations to keep families together.
ICE reported that Enforcement and Removal Operations removed 271,484 people in FY2024, more than in any fiscal year since 2015.
ICE's removal page states that ERO manages removal of foreign nationals subject to final orders and facilitates safe return to countries of origin.
H.R.16 was introduced with Ramirez named among original introducers; Congress.gov lists it as status Introduced. The bill would authorize cancellation of removal and status adjustment for certain noncitizens.
H.R.6839 was introduced by Rep. Bill Foster with Ramirez as an original cosponsor; Congress.gov lists it as status Introduced and referred to House Judiciary.
H.R.1061 lists Ramirez among original introducers and would bar immigration enforcement actions at or within 1,000 feet of sensitive locations except under exigent circumstances. Congress.gov lists it as status Introduced.
Assessments
The promise was to end deportations nationally, not merely narrow enforcement or add procedural protections. Deportations/removals continued during Ramirez's first House term, including ICE's FY2024 removal total, and the federal removal system remained active into her later House service. Ramirez did materially pursue related immigration protections, including bills to protect some noncitizens from removal, improve detained immigrants' legal access, and restrict enforcement at sensitive locations, but those efforts were introduced bills that did not become law and would not fully end deportations even if enacted. Because she made serious legislative efforts but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is a non-delivery with an effort badge.
