Stop ICE's NJ Expansion | U.S. House Representative Rob Menendez The Official U.S. Congressional website of Congressman Rob Menendez

Even though ICE has purchased the warehouse in Roxbury, our work is not done.

This facility runs counter to our state's values. Join our initiative to stop ICE's NJ expansion:

The firing of Kristi Noem one step. But the work to change and stop this administration’s reckless and cruel immigration policies is just beginning.
✅ Release disaster funding.
❌Stop the cruelty.
⚽️Release World Cup Funding
✅ Protect All.

Good riddance!

See how Lodi will spend a $1 million federal grant Lodi was one of a number of New Jersey entities to get federal funds. See how the borough will use the grant.

Delivering for residents means focusing not only on the big national debates, but on the practical needs that affect people every day. Proud to get this money for Lodi and for the partnership with local leaders. 🤝💪 www.northjersey.com/story/news/b...

Happy Holi to all those celebrating in New Jersey and beyond! May this day be filled with bright colors, joy and love!

In 100 days the World Cup is coming to New Jersey, this new funding will help improve public transit and move residents and visitors across our cities!

In New Jersey, we celebrate the strength and resilience of women every day, but March holds a special significance as Women's History Month. Let's honor the women who paved the way for us and continue to inspire us towards equality and justice. 💜

My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Austin community after last night’s tragic mass shooting. A night at a bar should never become a death sentence — not in America, not anywhere. We can do more—and we must do more—to end the gun violence epidemic.

Americans do not want and did not vote for another extended war.

¡Feliz Día de la Independencia Dominicana a todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas celebrando! 🇩🇴🤝🇺🇸

Earlier this month I met with Passaic County Community College in D.C. and discussed the vital role public colleges play in empowering young people. Now more than ever public colleges and public education need our support in Congress—you can count on me to defend and protect public education.

Derrick Healy, LIUNA Local 472 Gateway Tunnel Union Laborer: "I know a lot of you jokers out there. We had a lot of fun on these jobs, but we gotta keep it going. I said, remember one thing. "When Trump campaigned, what did he campaign for? Make America Great Again. What's he doing? Exactly [the opposite]. So is this a political scheme where it's just politics as usual, and a guy's going to say one thing and do something different? "And who pays for it? The blue collar working class. Here again, we're always the guy at the short end of the stick. "So, if everybody sticks together like we do here, we won't be the short end of the stick. We are the stick."

Justin Fowler, LIUNA Local 472 Gateway Tunnel Union Laborer: "You know, I put my boots on just like the rest of y'all. [But] this isn't a great America. "Gateway shouldn't have been stopped. We all have mouths to feed, and this is just upsetting. "It's really upsetting."

✊ Derrick & Justin of @weareliuna.bsky.social #Local472 are repping us as @pallone.house.gov & @repnellie.bsky.social's guests at STOU.

Derrick: "Is it politics as usual w/Pres. Trump saying one thing & doing another?"

Justin: "@gatewayprogram.bsky.social shouldn't have stopped. It's upsetting."

The real state of our union is scary.

Four years ago, Vladimir Putin began his attack against the freedom, democracy, and sovereignty of Ukraine. Since then, Ukrainians have shown remarkable resilience in defending their country amid immense hardship. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦 🇺🇸

Will ICE Scare Some Fans Away From the World Cup?

The World Cup can't be successful when fear of detention and immigration raids hangs over fans and players. I shared my thoughts with the @nytimes.com on how our district’s diversity must be protected and my commitment to the tournament’s success and safety.

Congratulations Team USA on an incredible Gold-Medal winning game! 🇺🇸

Huge shoutout to New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes for the golden goal ! 🥇

The conservative majority just confirmed something we all knew: President Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose his tariffs.

Finally a right decision.

Should Americans carry their passports during the World Cup? I don’t believe ICE when they say no.

As we mark the beginning of Lent may this be a time of faith, reflection and peace for all those who celebrate. 💜

Wishing a blessed and peaceful Ramadan to all those in New Jersey and beyond!

Happy Lunar New Year to all! May the year of the Horse bring happiness, good fortune and joy to Jersey and everyone celebrating.

Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. challenged America to be better through his words — and made us better through his actions. His faith guided his service. His love for America forged a path of freedom and opportunity for all. He stood in the gap when it mattered most. Rest in peace.

As New Jersey’s only Democrat on the House Transportation Committee, I am a broken record on this, but let me be clear: finishing the Gateway Tunnel is a matter of existential importance to New Jersey.

Today in Hawthorne we celebrated a crucial investment in our district: $1,092,000 in federal funding for the Borough's sewer pump system upgrade. Thanks to Mayor John Lane and local leaders for their partnership. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Consumers and businesses paid nearly 90% of Trump tariffs in 2025, new analysis found Americans, not foreign exporters, shouldered nearly the costs from the Trump administration's tariffs last year, according to the New York Fed.

The Trump effect is real: Americans are paying more and getting less. This new analysis from CBS News finds that almost ALL of Trump’s tariffs were passed down to consumers and businesses— leading to higher costs. He promised to lower costs on day one—he lied.

It was fantastic to catch up with Bevan K. Baker and the amazing team at Paterson Community Health Center in Washington! Their work is a testament to the power of community health centers and I'm grateful for their partnership.

Columbia Protester in ICE Custody for Nearly a Year Suffers Seizure

Despite court orders demanding her freedom my constituent Leqaa Kordia remains in ICE custody. Over the weekend she was hospitalized and her whereabouts were unknown to her family.

This is cruel, vicious, and it must end.

What a joy joining Dominicans on The Hill! Thanks Congressman Adriano Espaillat for organizing, it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and old friends. Plátano power 💪 🇺🇸🇩🇴
