Four years have passed since Russia’s brutal & illegal assault in Ukraine. The resilience & courage of our friends in Ukraine in the face of Russia’s invasion exemplify our shared values of freedom & democracy. To all Ukrainians: I stand with you in solidarity & offer my unwavering support.

As our office works to get Adriana home, we will continue to fight back against the harm the Trump Administration is causing every day to all of our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

I'm going to the State of the Union tonight with the niece of my constituent, Adriana. Adriana is being held by ICE despite having protected status under the Convention Against Torture.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

I will stand with them today and every day until Adriana is back in New Jersey with her family and we stop the harm that the Trump Administration is inflicting on all of our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Adriana, Monica, and their family deserve so much better from America than what Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and ICE have subjected them to.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Monica’s aunt, Adriana Quiroz Zapata, faced horrors and abuse in her home country that no one should ever experience, only to be victimized again here in the United States by the Trump Administration.

Tonight, I am bringing Monica Isabel Van Housen to the State of the Union address. Here's why. 🧵

Our constituent, Abdellatif Hafraoui from Bayonne, spent over 100 days in Delaney Hall after ICE arrested him at Newark Airport- despite having no criminal record. After his family contacted our office, we were able to engage with federal agencies and get him back to NJ and later released on bond.
