Federal officials unnecessarily escalated what should have been a run-of-the-mill inspection of the facility. In fact, Representative McIver’s actions were so unremarkable that she was invited back inside to finish her tour that day, after these events took place.

These charges are clearly unfounded. Representative McIver was exercising her legally protected authority as a member of Congress to conduct oversight of a detention center that receives millions of taxpayer dollars.
President Trump and the GOP lied to Americans about their "big beautiful bill."
Tax on tips? Still there.
Tax on overtime? Still there.
Tax on Social Security benefits? Still there.
The Trump administration continues to help the wealthiest Americans instead of the working Americans.
I welcome the tentative deal between BLET and NJ Transit that sets workers, hundreds of thousands of commuters, and our state’s economy and infrastructure up for the future. Full weekday rail service is on track to resume on Tuesday morning, May 20.
All these decades later, we remain in that struggle - for justice, for our democracy, for the future. The work of making for a more perfect union continues.
May our history inspire us, inform us, and instruct us in the work ahead.
71 years ago, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
After generations of struggle and sacrifice, the supreme law of the land finally bent toward hard-won justice.
Life-saving drugs should be accessible, not grossly overpriced just to explode unjust profits. It's time to end the practice of these extreme price hikes and the unjust corporate concentration and market monopolization that makes it possible.
We need fair competition and just pricing.
…that honors the work of BLET members, restarts and maintains NJ TRANSIT’s operational capacity, and effectively serves the hundreds of thousands of New Jersey families that rely on NJ TRANSIT and lift up our economy every day.
The labor of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen moves our entire region. Throughout negotiations with NJ TRANSIT, their members have been clear about their concerns. It’s incumbent upon both parties to continue negotiating in good faith to reach an agreement as soon as possible…
House Republicans have spent days working to advance a massive tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. They’re deciding which essential services — like Medicaid — they’ll slash to pay for it. We must keep speaking out and centering the voices of those who would be hurt most: working-class Americans.
I will continue to talk to all parties, and will do whatever I can to prevent more service interruptions. But Congress and the Trump administration need to come together now to provide a long-term solution.
People are not looking for someone to blame, they simply want to know they’ll arrive at their destination safely and on time.
My office has heard from many frustrated travelers – and I’ve heard from my own community. People deserve to know what is going on and what’s being done to fix the problems. The Department of Transportation and FAA need to increase public briefings and provide more details about each incident.
Secretary Duffy’s press conference today was a start, but the public deserves full transparency into what’s happening.
The administration must make this fix its immediate top priority.
The air traffic control center in Philadelphia that is responsible for Newark’s airspace needs to be brought up-to-date, urgently. Newark is a vital hub for people worldwide and it is inexcusable that its air traffic control system has suffered repeated malfunctions for more than two weeks.
I’ve talked with everyone--from air traffic controllers to affected travelers. We need an action plan from the administration and the FAA on the steps they are taking to end the daily disruptions and uncertainty at Newark Airport. What is being done to make this right and end the disruptions?
Over the last week and a half, my team and I have been working every day to push for the full restoration of airline operations to and from Newark Liberty International Airport.
Here’s some of the actions I’ve taken🧵
In our health care system, nurses go far beyond of what they are ask. Their care for patients is exceptional and it is an honor to stand with New Jersey Nurses and those across the country during Nurses Week.
I urge the Trump administration to stress this during the President’s upcoming visit to the region.
