Last year was ICE’s deadliest in more than 20 years. That’s why my Hispanic Caucus colleagues and I met with advocates to talk about how we keep fighting to protect our communities. Today was an important conversation - more work ahead.

When Jean Wilson Brutus died at Delaney Hall, we showed up immediately and demanded answers. We did the same after the death of Renee Good in Minnesota.

AI is being used more and more by hackers to carry out sophisticated cyberattacks on our devices and networks. That’s why I introduced legislation to make sure we’re also using AI to strengthen cybersecurity and protect Americans from foreign threats.

We went to ICE’s HQ today with our Democratic colleagues to deliver a clear message: ICE has to go. That’s why we’re voting NO on DHS funding. Our office is here - and always will be here - to protect our communities and neighbors.

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

Thank you to everyone who joined our town hall last night! In these perilous times, we will keep showing up and fighting to protect our communities - like we've always done.

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

Reported ICE activity in Hoboken and Jersey City, N.J. leaves many residents on edge

Tensions are running high after reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting several people in Hoboken and Jersey City earlier Sunday.

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

As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor the countless contributions Black Americans have made to NJ and our nation. Today and every day, we remember that Black history is American history and recommit ourselves to the fight for a more just and equal nation.

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

A judge again confirmed what we've said all along: Members of Congress have a legal right to visit detention facilities unannounced to inspect conditions. We’ll keep fighting back, conducting lawful oversight, and defending due process.

Judge says Trump administration must let lawmakers make unannounced visits to ICE detention facilities

The Department of Homeland Security had implemented a one-week notice for lawmakers’ visits.

We vote on more funding for DHS tomorrow in the House. I'll be a hard NO.

I will be voting NO on this funding deal. Here’s why: ICE must no longer exist. DHS needs to be completely restructured. Noem needs to go.

Let’s get Liam home. Let’s get paramilitaries out of our communities. Let’s end ICE. Let us begin to heal from this national nightmare. “With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.” - Judge Biery

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 31(source)

So Congress has an obligation to use every ounce of leverage it has. We cannot provide funding for the status quo. Not for a day. Not for two weeks. Not for another minute. We must hold the line.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 31(source)

And the Trump Administration is doubling down on an approach that has led to the death of American citizens and has shown no remorse or willingness to change course.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 31(source)

📍 Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Hudson County Community College at their 4th annual memorial in Jersey City 🤝 Great to be with HCCC President Reber and our community to reflect on Dr. King’s legacy. Together, we shall overcome these perilous times.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 31(source)

While the Trump Admin wants to silence dissent, we will not let them. We - the American people - will be everywhere from the streets of Minneapolis to the House Floor to Grove St. calling out this Admin and holding them accountable. We will not be silenced.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 31(source)

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a direct assault on the First Amendment - something Republicans used to defend.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 30(source)

Our fight continues until this national nightmare ends and Liam returns to his family and friends.
