📍 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.

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.

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

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

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

The image of Liam Ramos being apprehended outside his home almost broke me. I went to the House Floor not just to call out Republicans for their silence but to let all those feeling the weight of this moment know they are not alone.

Why a Scared 5-Year-Old Boy Shook Our National Conscience

What the image of Liam Ramos, grabbed in Minnesota and thrown in detention in Texas, means for our democracy.

Thank you to everyone who joined our first legal observer information session tonight! Now more than ever, it's important to stay educated and know your rights when documenting ICE/DHS conduct. Community is how we keep our communities safe.

Community is how we keep our communities safe. That's why our team is partnering with the NJAIJ to host an emergency legal observer information session tomorrow with @repbonnie.bsky.social and @replamonica.bsky.social to learn how to document ICE/immigration enforcement officers' conduct.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 29(source)

I voted against DHS funding in the House and I'm grateful that Senator Kim and Senator Booker voted against it in the Senate today. We must continue to hold the line to protect our communities.

Today, I voted NO to the funding package for DHS. This may have been my vote, but this was the people's voice. We need real changes to fix a broken and lawless system. I'll be working closely with my colleagues to deliver it.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 29(source)

Our communities are stronger when we believe in each other. Grateful to join Mayor Solomon, Rep. McIver, and so many proven leaders in this fight to protect our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 29(source)

That's why I joined @schumer.senate.gov & all of my bi-state colleagues in demanding that Trump immediately release the funding already allocated to the project. We won't stop fighting for the future of our transit systems.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 29(source)

The Gateway Program is the most important infrastructure project in the country & significant progress has already been made.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

We're not backing down from protecting our communities- not now, not ever.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

The fish rots from the head down. Trump has empowered Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem to have Americans killed on our streets, to terrorize our communities, and to constantly lie to the press and the American people. They need to go. And so does Trump.

Breaking Axios: Kristi Noem's language that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" federal agents was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller. That's according to four sources who spoke to Axios. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

While I'm grateful that a federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump Admin from deporting 5 year old Liam Ramos and his father, it should never have gotten to this point. Using a 5 year old as bait and then sending him to a detention center should outrage every American. Our fight continues.
