Robin Kelly, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Illinois' 2nd district since 2013, shared her perspectives on current issues through a series of tweets. On January 21, 2025, she addressed topics ranging from the Capitol riot to immigration rights amidst increased ICE activity in Chicago.
In a tweet posted on January 21, 2025, at 14:05 UTC, Robin Kelly expressed her views on the events of January 6 and their aftermath. She stated: "Let's be clear: those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 are not patriots. They injured over 140 police officers, threatened elected officials, and attempted to overthrow our democracy. Trump's pardon undermines the rule of law and further divides this country."
Later that day at 22:02 UTC, Kelly turned her attention to immigration rights in light of heightened ICE activity in Chicago. She tweeted: "You have rights, regardless of your immigration status. With increased ICE activity in Chicago, here are a few key steps that you can use to protect yourself."
In an accompanying tweet at the same time and date, she provided similar information in Spanish for broader reach among affected communities: "Usted tiene derechos, independientemente de su estatus migratorio. Con el aumento de la actividad de ICE en Chicago, aquí hay algunos pasos clave que puede usar para protegerse."
