Congratulations to Jeanne Hengemuhle on her historic appointment to serve as New Jersey’s first woman superintendent of the NJ State Police! I look forward to working with her to keep our communities safe.

Sherrill names first woman to lead N.J. State Police - New Jersey Globe

My statement in support of the revised Newark Bay Bridge Project:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 4(source)

I left today’s classified briefing more frustrated and concerned than before. The burden was on the Trump Administration to make a clear, concise case for their strike on Iran. They failed to do so. I’m voting yes on Rep. Khanna's War Powers Resolution.

These stories and so many others which I’ve heard during my visits to Delaney Hall and EDC are why I will continue to fight to end the use of privately run, for-profit immigration detention centers and why I will do everything to end ICE.

This comes after Jean Wilson Brutus lost his life while being detained at Delaney Hall.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 3(source)

Waldir Chirinos, a Union County resident, developed a high fever while detained at Delaney Hall. ICE took no action until he suffered a seizure. At the hospital, he was restrained to his bed. His wife was denied any updates on his condition.

If you don’t believe ICE needs to be abolished then read this story:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 3(source)

The law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight at any time without prior notice. Thankful for this ruling & will be back at Delaney Hall & EDC again & again to continue our oversight of this Admin.

Judge restores lawmakers’ unfettered access to ICE detention facilities

It was U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb's third time blocking or limiting DHS's efforts to prevent unannounced lawmaker visits.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 2(source)

Proud to receive an “A” on the End Citizens United legislative scorecard. Every day we fight for the community I am so proud to represent - always putting you first.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 2(source)

The IRS improperly shared confidential tax information from thousands of Americans with DHS. This breach of privacy is unacceptable & why I joined my CHC colleagues to demand answers from Treasury Secretary Bessent & the IRS & for them to notify every affected taxpayer immediately.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 2(source)

No one should feel unsafe going to their place of worship, but that is the atmosphere of fear that this Administration has created for our neighbors. We will continue to fight to protect our communities, inform our residents of their rights and work to abolish ICE to the end.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 1(source)

And…..I occasionally FaceTime them when I’m with the people who they’ve helped just to let them know we are thinking of them - and always thankful for the work they do. 🫶

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 1(source)

I’m so thankful for the team that delivers for our district every day. I love lifting up their work and telling anyone who will listen how fortunate I am to be in this work with them.

My statement on Trump’s unauthorized attack on Iran.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 27(source)

What happened yesterday in Newark was outrageous and goes against what any legitimate law enforcement agency would do. ICE must follow the law and be held accountable for recklessly putting people in our communities in danger.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 27(source)

Together, we’ll keep fighting for a stronger, fairer Hudson County. Forever thankful for the people and places that make this district what it is. 💪

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 27(source)

📍State of the County with Hudson County Exec Craig Guy 🤝 I couldn't be more grateful to represent the place we all love so deeply alongside, my friend, Craig Guy.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 27(source)

Yet another blatant attempt by Trump and Republicans to interfere in elections because they know they would lose if they had to compete in a fair election tomorrow.

DOJ sues N.J. for unredacted voter rolls - New Jersey Globe

The U.S. Department of Justice sued New Jersey for the second time this week, this time to demand unredacted versions of the state’s voter files. The DOJ

Removing necessary AI safeguards for military weapons would shake the conscience of our country. We cannot - and will not - allow it to happen.
