U.S. Representative Robin Kelly has recently used her social media platform to criticize Republican policies on healthcare and immigration enforcement, focusing on their impact in Illinois.
On November 1, 2025, Kelly posted that "President Trump and his Congressional Republicans are playing political games with your healthcare. Due to Republican inaction, a 45-year-old Illinois couple could pay $2,571 more for healthcare next year. That’s not leadership; that’s cruelty."
Later the same day, she addressed immigration enforcement actions in Chicago: "Reckless. Dangerous. Un-American. ICE’s Gestapo-style tactics in Chicago are endangering families. I’ll keep fighting for oversight, accountability, and dignity for every person in our community."
On November 2, 2025, Kelly reiterated her concerns about rising healthcare costs: "Because of Republican inaction, a family in Illinois could pay $8,533 more for health insurance. Families shouldn’t have to pay higher monthly bills just because Republicans refuse to do their jobs. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and make healthcare affordable again."
Robin Kelly has represented Illinois’ 2nd congressional district since winning a special election in 2013 and has consistently secured reelection by wide margins against various opponents—including Thomas Lynch (2022), Theresa Raborn (2020), David Merkle (2018), John Morrow (2016), and Eric Wallace (2014).
Her recent statements reflect ongoing debates over federal health policy and immigration enforcement practices affecting communities across Illinois.
