At the end of the year, The Nation honored progressives across the country who are standing up to Donald Trump’s cruelty, corruption, and abuse of power—activists, artists, faith leaders, and elected officials.
Delia was included as the featured US House Member!
Not because of titles or headlines, but because when Trump’s administration launched violent, lawless immigration crackdowns in Chicago, Delia didn’t back down. She showed up. She demanded answers. She used her seat on the House Homeland Security Committee to force investigations into middle-of-the-night raids, warrantless arrests, and federal operations that traumatized families and put U.S. citizens at risk.
And when hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to say No Kings, Delia stood with them, making it clear that cruelty should never be normalized, that Chicago will never be broken, and that this moment demands courage, not compliance.
