We expect a swift response from the FAA. If these operations by the government are following the law, there is absolutely no reason to cover them up.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 17(source)

The Trump Administration is using FAA systems to hide deportation flights from the public and Congress. We are demanding answers from the FAA on these flights, including unsafe conditions.

While Trump’s tariffs continue to make life more expensive for our families and small businesses, House Democrats are ready to lower costs and deliver meaningful relief. Important conversation, more work to do.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 16(source)

We’ve been working on this case since day one and we are demanding that ICE immediately comply with the law and bring Adriana home.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 16(source)

Weeks after deporting Adriana to the DRC and after a federal judge ordered for her return, the Trump Administration claims they don’t know where she is. The truth? She is exactly where ICE left her.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 15(source)

House Republicans blocked my amendment to stop the Trump Admin from punishing VA workers for mourning their colleague, Alex Pretti, who was killed by federal agents in broad daylight. Republicans chose taxpayer-funded intimidation over protecting federal workers.

My dear friend, Bill Pascrell, embodied the spirit of New Jersey and his hometown of Paterson (“one t”). Grateful to Hudson County Exec Craig Guy for renaming the Hudson County Public Safety Training Center in Bill’s honor as a tribute to a man who gave everything to the community he loved.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 14(source)

Our office has been working for nearly a year to get Adriana home. Being in the room when the federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to return her was an incredibly emotional moment. We are one step closer—and we won't stop until she’s home.

I’m so proud of this team’s relentless hustle for our community. We won’t stop fighting for everyone who calls NJ-08 home.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 14(source)

The absolute best part of this job is this right here. I just got to call our caseworker who has been pouring their heart and soul into Adriana’s case for over a year to share the news from court.

Codify oversight. Protect our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 14(source)

Our fight will go on until she is finally back home with her family.

ICE Deports Colombian Torture Victim—to Africa

Last year, we broke the story of a woman ICE had repeatedly tried to send to Mexico or a third country. Things have gotten even worse.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 14(source)

🚨🚨A federal judge has ordered ICE to take all available steps to bring Adriana back to the US! I was proud to be with her lawyer during today’s hearing in DC and grateful for our incredible team who has been working on this matter with such skill and care.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 13(source)

Since my first day in Congress, I have fought to ban private detention centers in New Jersey and across the country. This appointment only proves how broken the system remains. We’re going to keep holding the Administration accountable.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 13(source)

Putting a GEO Group executive who has profited off of ICE ripping families apart is just doubling down on a system that prioritizes profits over people.

Trump administration elevates former private prison company exec to lead ICE

David Venturella will lead the agency on an acting basis when Todd Lyons retires at the end of the month.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 13(source)

That’s why Rep. McIver, Rep. Watson Coleman, & I are introducing legislation to reaffirm the right for Congress to conduct oversight visits & our commitment to correcting the course our country is on. Our fight continues - together.
