People are dying in ICE custody and immigration detention centers across the country.
We won’t allow this Administration to go to church and pray on Sundays and then prey on our communities the rest of the week. We will hold them accountable.

Huge news! The redesigned Newark Bay–Hudson County Extension Improvements Program is a major step forward and includes some of the changes we proposed from the start.
Proud to support this project and thankful to our partners in government and labor for working together to move this forward.
Reposted byRep. Rob Menendez
TONIGHT AT 7: @jasmineforus.bsky.social joins to discuss her high-stakes race for Senate in Texas. Plus, @menendez.house.gov on ICE ramping up its violent tactics against civilians and a report into the deaths of multiple ICE detainees.
That's why I joined Reps. Jayapal & Fletcher in demanding answers after USCIS announced they would indefinitely pause the immigration process for nationals from the countries listed in Trump’s travel ban.
Denying naturalization ceremonies & canceling green card interviews for individuals who have waited years for this monumental achievement is a disservice for those who followed the law & passed every required check.
Such a privilege to work alongside @hudcostreets.org & so many advocates to make these changes a reality & we’ll keep working to make sure these upgrades deliver for our communities.
These investments means safer, more reliable transit across our region. See you on the PATH soon!
📍 Spending time with seniors at the Joseph Connors Senior Center in Jersey City
🎄 Our seniors are the heart of our community. Great stopping by to wish some of our favorite residents a happy holidays! I'll always protect our seniors and ensure they have the resources they need. 🫶
The Trump Administration has attempted to impede our lawful oversight authority to inspect conditions of private detention facilities. Today’s deeply disturbing news is exactly why oversight is essential.
Below is my statement on the reported death of an individual in detention at Delaney Hall:
Trump and DHS continue to lie to the American people.
House Democrats will keep holding this Admin accountable and standing up for our communities.
This headline says it all.
While the Admin claims it is only targeting criminals, the reality tells a different story. Only 3% of those arrested or detained over the past few months have actually been convicted of a crime.
Instead of doing the people’s work and saving millions of Americans from skyrocketing health insurance premiums, Republicans packed up and headed home.
Disappointed but not surprised. The fight continues.
This confirms what we have said all along - Members of Congress have a legal right to visit detention facilities & it's clear that this was yet another blatant attempt by the Trump Admin to protect themselves & private prison operators from accountability.
A judge just blocked the Trump's Admin's efforts to stop us from visiting our constituents & conducting oversight at immigration detention facilities without prior notice, as the law requires.
Happy Birthday, NJ! 🎉
Grateful every single day to fight for the state we all love so much in Congress, and proud to be raising my kids to be Jersey Strong. 🗽🥯
For someone who’s “winning” so much, why is Trump so mad?
Congress must act to end Trump's unsanctioned military actions in Venezuela.
As Vice Chair of Policy for the Hispanic Caucus, I joined Rep. Espaillat and other members of our leadership team in condemning the House GOP’s refusal to hold Trump to his oath of office.
We carry his work forward—and I’ll always miss his style, his leadership, and the looks he’d give me when we were making good trouble. 🙏🤍
Happy heavenly 67th birthday to my friend, Congressman Donald Payne Jr.
He is deeply missed in New Jersey and the halls of Congress, but his legacy of justice and fearless advocacy lives on.
Democrats succeeded in forcing a vote to stop ACA premium hikes.
It’s time for Speaker Johnson to immediately bring this vote to the floor & protect healthcare for all Americans
