US EditionDem Lashes Out at Critics After Calling Illegal Immigrants ‘Constituents’: ‘I Googled the Word’
Rep. Yassamin Ansari asserts that all residents, regardless of legal status, are her constituents and highlights concerns over detainees' conditions at local ICE facilities.
- On September 4, 2025, Rep. Yassamin Ansari held a press conference defending her reference to illegal immigrants in ICE custody as her constituents in Eloy, Arizona.
- Ansari explained she had Googled 'constituent' after facing backlash and found it means 'somebody who is part of a community,' not necessarily a voter.
- She described the conditions faced by ICE detainees as inhumane and unacceptable, highlighting a case of a woman with leukemia who experienced a significant weight loss of 55 pounds and had yet to receive specialist medical care, and urged ongoing efforts to hold the administration accountable.
- Republican Rep. Pat Harrigan condemned Ansari’s statement on September 4, arguing that a lawmaker who admits to looking up the meaning of "constituent" should not be involved in drafting legislation.
- Ansari’s stance highlights a divide over immigration, as an August survey found voters trust Republicans on immigration by 17 points, and she urged support regardless of legal status.
