Delia Ramirez wants Democrats to meet the momentMother Jones interviews Rep. Delia Ramirez of Illinois, who argues that after the midterms gave Democrats the House, they should meet the moment by passing the most comprehensive immigration reform bill they can and sending it to Trump rather than negotiating down. She calls Trump's softened 60 Minutes rhetoric gaslighting given his promotion of Stephen Miller, urges clawing back ICE funding while building toward dismantling the agency, and, vying for the Homeland Security oversight gavel, promises investigations into detention conditions, due process violations, and officials including Noem, Miller, Homan, and Bovino.
