Every day I’m fighting against Trump’s harmful immigration policies. The results of which have already had dire consequences in our district. That’s why I’m moved to speak out against the potential harm of another private detention center opening in the 8th. Read my letter to Union County below 👇

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, in a letter shared with members, has requested a one-on-one debate on the House floor with Speaker Mike Johnson on the budget.

The U.S. has long been a leader in global public health, and we should all be fighting to keep it that way. On #WorldHealthDay, we honor the people who make this possible—and recommit ourselves to the fight against those who seek to undermine it. Public health deserves protection, not attack.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 5(source)

Last night, Senate GOP had the chance to vote with Dems in support of: ✅Protecting Medicaid ✅Preventing another SignalGate ✅Stopping Trump’s tariffs Instead they voted against these commonsense measures. And we can expect the same from the House GOP this week. House Democrats aren’t backing down.

The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that email notices regarding the Uniting for Ukraine program were sent in error. If you have further questions or concerns regarding immigration status, our office can help. Please call us at (201) 309-0301 to speak with a member of our team.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 4(source)

Our team has received concerned inquiries regarding the status of the Uniting For Ukraine program. We believe the emails in question were sent by accident and will provide all pertinent updates. If you have ANY questions or receive ANY communication from DHS, please contact us at (201) 309-0301.

The President’s attack on collective bargaining for federal workers is unprecedented and illegal. @laborcaucus.bsky.social and House Democrats are fighting back, demanding that the President reverse course. When it comes to protecting our civil servants, we won’t back down.

With Women’s History Month behind us, I’m reflecting on our celebration of some of the amazing women of the Eighth District—leaders, educators, caregivers, and change makers. Your strength shapes our communities every day. Here's to honoring you all year long! 💜

Adriana’s story is heart-wrenching - but one that must be heard. She is one of the many faces of Trump’s mass deportation efforts, highlighting the cruelty and lawlessness of this Administration. Our office will continue to do everything we can to help her and her family.

Adriana Quiroz Zapata is just one of a growing number who have been caught in the dragnet, but her saga illustrates the human costs of what the administration is doing. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social has her story in the latest edition of Huddled Masses:

This is a complete disaster. House Democrats will fight back, but Republicans need to grow a spine and speak out against Trump’s unhinged trade policy.

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

Domestically, these tariffs will likely increase prices for Americans, intensify the affordability challenge so many are facing, and increase the likelihood of a recession. The only folks who will get through this unscathed are the ultra wealthy like Musk.

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

Tariffs are a strategic tool that can be used by any administration to achieve certain goals. What Trump is doing is reckless and will further erode America’s standing in the world and credibility with all of our allies.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 2(source)

Be sure to join me and Rep. Frank Pallone on Instagram live TOMORROW at 9:45 am to discuss the Republican cuts to Medicaid and how we're fighting back!

In this moment, we cannot be silent nor accept attacks on the federal judiciary as something normal. That’s why I went to the House Floor to uplift @americanbar.org's work and encourage others to take action👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 2(source)

@booker.senate.gov did more than just break a record - an incredible feat on its own. He also provided a vision for what our country can be. Proud to call him a friend and honored to be doing this important work alongside him 💪

Humbled to have the Katz family and other advocates on the Hill yesterday to announce the Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act. Jill and Michael Katz have courageously turned their grief into advocacy, and together, we're working to save lives. Learn more about the bill here: menendez.house.gov/sarahkatz

I went to the House Floor to speak against the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement actions and to share a constituent’s story as a warning and call to action. Watch 👇
