Ramirez (IL-03) released the following statement after voting in opposition to H.Res 894:\n\n\u201cI am committed to a self-determined future where both Palestinians and Israelis are able to live freely and safely. I support a two-state solution and affirm both Palestine and Israel\u2019s right to exist as sovereign states. To realize that future, states and leaders cannot be above criticism, nor can we stifle dissent and the exercise of free speech. While we must unequivocally stand against islamophobia and antisemitism in all their forms, the definition of antisemitism in this bill sets a dangerous precedent. It is dangerous to conflate antisemitism with the criticism of the Israeli state or the extreme and xenophobic nationalist policies they have supported. Nationalist movements deny our shared humanity and interconnectedness. As we advocate for a lasting peace, we must stand strong against the nationalist politics of division that dehumanize others and incite violence. That\u2019s why I voted NO on today\u2019s resolution H.Res 894.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/ramirez-statement-opposition-hres-894"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.345180906355381, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
