The GEO Group is profiting off of ICE ripping families apart and terrorizing our communities. All on the American taxpayer's' dime. Our fight continues. 📸: Newark

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 10(source)

You and Randy Fine don’t belong in Congress. Enough with the Islamaphobia. Compassionate conservatism is a lie.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 9(source)

The cost of living has skyrocketed across our communities in NJ-08. It’s time for House Republicans to join House Democrats in lowering costs and making government work for you - the American people.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 8(source)

Such an honor to be with NENA members while they were in DC & so grateful for all the work they do in providing vital support to our first responders & our communities. In Congress, I'll always support policies like Next Gen 911 to help upgrade our emergency response critical infrastructure.

📍Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade in Jersey City ☘️ Always great to be alongside friends and local leaders on a day I look forward to every year! So special to celebrate our proud, longstanding, Irish-American community with this great tradition.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 8(source)

🎨 Such an honor to be with so many friends and neighbors as we support our community and recognize the talents of incredible artists. Excited for the new church and community center on Sip Ave and look forward to more gatherings that bring us together to come.

Newark - Congress is coming to your corner to help with casework, passports, and anything else you need from a federal agency. We hope to see you there!

That's why I joined @warren.senate.gov & over 160 of my colleagues in introducing legislation that would provide millions of Americans with IRS #DirectFile again, a free & easy tax filing option.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 6(source)

Tax filing season has begun, but the Trump Admin took away the Direct File program that allowed you to file early and electronically.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 6(source)

Republicans are working harder to protect corporate interests than they are to keep our kids safe.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 6(source)

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:

House Democrats will always fight harder than Republicans to support families and to take on big tech.

Noem’s removal is a victory for accountability and for the Americans who refused to stay silent in the face of corruption and cruelty. @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social leadership statement 👇🏽

Grateful to my friend Rep. Robert Garcia for his tireless leadership on the House Oversight Committee in bringing justice to victims & holding the Trump Admin accountable. The fight continues until we've uncovered what Trump & the DOJ are trying to hide from the American people. #ReleasetheFiles

One day after we won a vote in House Oversight with united Democratic members to subpoena Pam Bondi, the DOJ just announced that they plan to post more Epstein files. This is after they took down 50k files with no explanation. We are going to end this White House cover-up.

Tech can be a bridge, but only if we close the digital divide. More work ahead.

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

Such an honor to be recognized as one of the Hispanic Technology & Telecommunications Partnership 2026 Tech Innovadores! I'll always work in Congress to advance tech access, broadband affordability, & digital opportunities for all of our communities.
