And Congresswoman Lauren Underwood, a Democrat whose district includes some southwest suburbs.

We also invited all the Republicans in Illinois congressional delegation, but they either declined or have not responded to our request.

We think the 3 of you for joining us.

Representative Ramirez.

I want to start with you.

And we should mention that President Trump is speaking to a group of folks at the capital.

One arena right now where he is expected to sign some of executive orders that we mentioned.

But we've heard him promise and you know what, you and other local and state officials were canvassing in the community today with know your rights, immigration information.

What are you hearing from people in the community today?

What are their concerns?

>> mean, I had a lot of fear.

There was a gentleman at the train station who said to me, I have papers and then pulled out his employment authorization card to show me because he was fearful that if you didn't show me that and if I was ice to get deported, there's a lot of fear.

There's a lot of questions.

Who does this apply to?

Who will he deport?

And so I think it's really important that we're letting people know regardless of legal status, you have rights.

And here is 4 members seeking the calling in case you resources.

Have you heard anything or what is the latest that you've heard about the reported raids that the Trump administration is expected to start in Chicago?

Yeah, I mean, >> no, we have not heard anything clear indication of how many officers are when they're coming.

Of course, we've read a number of things, it's also sounds like the border czar is rethinking considering what he thinks is the priority for this week.

Representative Underwood, you attended the inaugural luncheon today.

What was the mood in the room?

What did you see and hear?

>> I didn't attend inauguration.

The ceremony and the luncheon and it you know, Brandis and a lot.

It was Trump occasion.

And so magnet with.

And they were jubilant we saw the piece peaceful transfer of power, which is what our country stands for.

It's what we've come to expect from an agro ceremonies.

And I was honored to be able to participate.

>> You're also the acting ranking member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security for the current 198 team.

Congress to have any concerns for President Trump spending plan on the border, especially based on what we've heard during today's ceremonies.

>> I think President Trump is going to quickly confront the reality that he's very expensive plans for completely throwing out activities along the southern border to detain hundreds of thousands migrants to, you know, immediately began deportation flights, which American taxpayers will be paying for, will run into some pretty significant budgetary realities while he also wants to enact his tax cuts for the billionaire.

you know, I think that the Trump administration and the Republicans in the House and Senate are going to have all get on the same page.

My responsibility is making sure that our nation remains safe and secure.

responsability is making sure that families across northern Illinois now that they have a strong champion voice in Washington, D.C., and making sure that folks, civil rights and liberties are not restricted.

>> Congressman, quickly, you're also out in the community today doing some service in honor of King Day and speaking with constituents.

What were some of your biggest concerns?

What are some of your biggest concerns?

>> Well, obviously what my colleagues just talked about the fact that there is great uncertainty.

I think that there is intended.

want to do this.

It's it's almost a campaign of terror by letting folks know sort of Damocles is But you know, is troubling is that is and it is >> there are a lot of nations, though, issues of our generation for changing future generations.

Front of the Tribune today talked about a record number climate disasters in Delano in 2024. president basically announced a war on anything sustainable, baby, moving away from deal.

goals moving away toward recognizing climate changes.

The issue for future generations.

That's just one of the many issues.

It will be extremely difficult to fight back on next 4 years.

>> the president, he also laid out some of his concerns today.

His biggest concerns that he says the country is currently facing.

>> We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign voters but refuses to defend American borders or more importantly.

Its own people.

>> Congresswoman Ramirez, what's your reaction to that statement?

Yeah.

You know, as I was here in Congress and quickly talk about.

Rolling back so much of an environmental protections.

All I kept thinking about was he has declared war on the environment.

So when I hear him talk about how we have spent funny and other borders and that the American people, it's really difficult for me to hear him say that and know that the richest people in the world were at the front row of his swearing in celebrating the billionaire celebrating the creation of beginners Bill of rights.

feels great dissonance in this moment.

>> Congresswoman Underwood during the inauguration.

Trump also promised to fulfill Doctor King's dream for this country.

We also heard Detroit Pastor Lorenzo see will quoted at length from Dr King's Historic.

I have a dream speech.

What did you make of that messaging?

>> before he said both things, he said it was liberation he said that going to reclaim the Panama Canal.

He said that we're going to have the Gulf of America.

You know, I Donald Trump make a lot of promises in order to distract the American people from his plan to reward the billionaire sitting in that front row next to his family members ensure that those got a tax break at the expense.

Hard working families across northern Illinois and fell.

I do not have any kind conviction that Donald Trump, it's inspired Martin Luther King Junior and I take him at his word with make these promises to harm families in our community.

>> So speaking of the billionaires, both of you have referenced, of course, you know, we saw folks like Judge Jeff Bezos has well as Mark Zuckerberg sitting in the audience there.

Congressman, quickly Reprot President Biden, he used his farewell address to the nation to deliver warnings that he believes are of and all of our key of the ultra-rich that are taking over the country.

Do you see taking shape and it?

How should Americans respond?

>> Well, look, we have a sample of it.

The end year we had bipartisan by Kamrel bill to fund the government for the next several months.

That was agreed to by everyone.

And suddenly there newly formed all of our comes in and announces that its dead threatens Republicans with primaries.

It I if they support So don't know if he's president must or just are our most prominent of oligarchs, my Miss Underwood talked about the tax bill.

I remember the last through the economy by about one percent.

cost 2 trillion dollars in debt.

only benefit and somewhere between one and 3%.

The next proposal is going to try to do roughly the same thing.

But it's going to go after Medicaid and Social Security pay for.

>> Okay.

That's that's where we'll have to leave Obviously the 3 of you have your work
