Karim Daoud was detained by ICE on the same day he went to pick up work authorization documents. He was then held in the Elizabeth Detention Facility for over 9 months.
It is a testament to his community that he is home with his children today.

It's never been more clear to me how badly we need a solution to the healthcare crisis we're in.
That's why I introduced MediKids – to put forward a solution that eases the burden.
We can and should ensure healthcare doesn't leave families in crippling debt.
The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) was first created after 9/11 to support redevelopment in lower Manhattan and surrounding areas in New Jersey, like Jersey City. 1/3
We're hiring! 📣 Are you exploring a new career or restarting your career? Retired and looking for an opportunity to serve NJ? Currently working outside government or public policy? 1/2
It is unacceptable that anyone is forced to wait months or even years for the benefits they worked hard to earn.
Care cannot be put on hold. That's why I introduced the Stop the Wait Act to stand up for the disability community and end harmful waiting periods that delay the support they deserve.
The Ukrainian diaspora in NJ is the second largest diaspora of Ukrainian Americans in the country.
I sat down with New Jerseyans from the American Coalition for Ukraine to hear about what's on their minds and express my support for Ukraine. 1/2
It’s always a joy to sit down with Ambassador Kang Kyung-wha, whether we’re talking about technological advancement, national security, or our favorite Korean dish. 1/2
I spoke with the Public Housing Authorities Directors Association (PHADA) about the importance of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing law.
When I travel across New Jersey, I see both rural and urban communities struggling with the housing crisis. 1/2
My father was a medical researcher who tried to cure Alzheimer's. Now, suffering from Alzheimer's himself, he can't remember what he once dedicated his life to.
Millions of people need our help. That's why I questioned HHS Deputy Sec Nominee about his commitment to supporting caregivers.
We're hiring! 📣 Have a passion for politics and public service? Join us in Washington, D.C., Jersey City, NJ, or Barrington, NJ as an intern for the Spring 2027 session.

I joined @aarp.org New Jersey for a telephone town hall to talk all things healthcare, caregiving, and aging with dignity.
As a father and a caregiver, these issues are close to my heart. It's important to hear your stories and to carry them with me in all I do as your U.S. Senator.
This is why I introduced a bill to ban stock trading across all three branches of government.
No one should get a free pass when they’ve been trusted to work in the best interest of the people they serve.
Especially not the President.
I joined @semafor.com's Future of Health Forum to talk about why we must guarantee healthcare to every child in America via MediKids.
The #1 issue I hear about when traveling across NJ and the country is healthcare.
Families need relief. We must give it to them.
This price tag has cost all of us. $38 billion is an unfathomable amount.
But every family has paid money from their own wallets to fund Trump’s war.
Let’s put an end to it now.
More Americans are going hungry, including 1.5 million kids, because of Trump and Congressional Republicans.
It’s heartbreaking to see the impact of their Big Disastrous Bill.
We must do everything we can to reverse this damage and expand access to healthy meals.
Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month!
It’s an honor to celebrate the history, culture, and diversity within the Hispanic community, and recognize Hispanic Americans for the contributions they make in New Jersey and across the nation.
Here’s to a great month of celebrations!
Seeing this news breaks my heart — that so many families are afraid to gather in a community they call home because of this administration’s cruelty.
Hispanic heritage and culture deserves to be celebrated. Hispanic communities in NJ deserve so much better.
Trump Jr.'s wedding:
— A $100k private island
— A $70k fireworks display
— A celebration bankrolled by a Russian oligarch
Trump and his family are profiting off the presidency in ways never seen before.
The corruption is staggering.
AI is moving faster than anyone - including its creators - can understand or control. We need to act and act now to ensure that humans remain in control of this technology and that all people - not just the elite few - benefit from it. 1/8
I’ve got two kids. I’ve been to a lot of doctor’s appointments with them and know that when your pediatrician says something, you listen.
MediKids is designed with kids in mind because we listened to pediatricians.
