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.

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.

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.

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

Important that Anthropic rejected Hegseth’s pressure to allow the DOD to use their technology to enable mass surveillance or the development of weapons without human oversight.

Artists across NJ shape the culture that tells our story.🤝 I’ll always support local talent and celebrate the people & places that bring our community's story to life. & for the next generation of artists… stay tuned! Our Congressional Art Competition application for high schoolers opens soon! 👀

This cruelty must end. The fight continues.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 26(source)

This is a tragedy and my heart breaks for Nurul Amin Shah Alam's family. The difficult reality is that this is sadly unsurprising under the Trump Admin and complicit Republicans who empower ICE and CBP every day to apprehend, beat, and even kill our neighbors in broad daylight.

'Nearly blind' refugee found dead after being released by Border Patrol in New York

Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan said the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam was preventable and “deeply disturbing.”

🙏 Grateful to join our Muslim community for an Inter-Faith Ramadan Iftar in Jersey City. Wishing everyone a blessed Ramadan 🌙❤️

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 26(source)

We never bent the knee - and we won. Grateful that our hardworking union members are back on the job so they can keep driving this project forward. We will always fight in Congress to deliver the safe, reliable, modern transit our communities deserve.

The Gateway Project has made sense from day one, it makes sense today. We will continue to drive it forward because that is what our residents have asked for and because that is what our country deserves.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 26(source)

Trump's DOJ keeps picking the wrong state to mess with. Jersey stands up for our own and we'll keep fighting back to protect our communities. If Trump wants to play games, we’ll keep winning in court.

ICE is hurting people in our communities. What happened in Newark today is not isolated—it’s part of a steady drumbeat of harm ICE is doing right here in NJ and around this country. Because ICE continues to act recklessly, lawlessly, and without accountability, no one is safe.

ICE Pursuit in Newark Results in Car Crash That Hospitalizes Two Minors

An ICE pursuit in Newark resulted in a car accident this morning on Shanley Avenue.

Spent this afternoon at the DOJ reviewing the unredacted Epstein files. Based on what I saw, we’re going to have to keep coming back to uncover what Trump and the DOJ are trying to hide from the American people. If there are files you want me to review, comment with the EFTA number below.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 25(source)

I’m about to go inside the DOJ to view the unredacted Epstein Files.
