** John,
------------------------------------------------------------
Last week, an acknowledgement I made of my Guatemalan roots — and the pride I feel as a Guatemalan American — was twisted into a false narrative. Right-wing forces, including the Department of Homeland Security, weaponized a misinterpretation of my comments, made in Spanish, to question my loyalty as an American and silence me as I continue to push back against this fascist administration. They’ve even gone so far as to call for me to be removed from my committees, stripped of my citizenship, and deported — a ridiculous attack meant only to rile the far-right with false narratives and dangerous precedents.
These attacks are rooted in xenophobia and racism. Conservatives with narrow, exclusionary views of America take offense when someone who looks like me speaks with pride about their heritage.

Here’s the truth: my very existence threatens the far right’s white supremacy. My entire life and political work – as a proud daughter of immigrants, who unapologetically advocates for housing as a human right and healthcare for all, first as a social service provider, then as a state rep, and now as a congresswoman – has been about uplifting working class people of every background. I fight for all of us.
When the right wing seeks to divide us using race, ethnicity, and the roots we hold dear, I will always fight back. The U.S. is at its best when we live into our values as a multiracial and multicultural democracy where our mosaic of cultures represent something new and uniquely American. It’s something we should be intensely proud of and work tirelessly to defend.
I hope you’ll stand with me now against these hateful attacks, and fight for the inclusive vision of America we’re building together. ([link removed])
Together, we will keep speaking the truth — proudly.
In Solidarity,
Delia
