Trump's DOJ keeps picking the wrong state to mess with. Jersey stands up for our own and we'll keep fighting back to protect our communities. If Trump wants to play games, we’ll keep winning in court.

Trump administration sues New Jersey over executive order banning ICE from some state property

It argues that Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s executive order "poses an intolerable obstacle to federal immigration enforcement."

ICE is hurting people in our communities. What happened in Newark today is not isolated—it’s part of a steady drumbeat of harm ICE is doing right here in NJ and around this country. Because ICE continues to act recklessly, lawlessly, and without accountability, no one is safe.

ICE Pursuit in Newark Results in Car Crash That Hospitalizes Two Minors

An ICE pursuit in Newark resulted in a car accident this morning on Shanley Avenue.

Spent this afternoon at the DOJ reviewing the unredacted Epstein files. Based on what I saw, we’re going to have to keep coming back to uncover what Trump and the DOJ are trying to hide from the American people. If there are files you want me to review, comment with the EFTA number below.

I’m about to go inside the DOJ to view the unredacted Epstein Files.

My statement on Trump’s 2026 State of the Union:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 25(source)

Tariffs are paid for by hardworking Americans, not foreign countries. Trump is making life more expensive for our families. And while House Republicans gaslight the American people, House Democrats are ready to tackle the affordability crisis and deliver meaningful change.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 25(source)

That’s why I’ve taken action to require massive data centers to generate the power they consume and to use renewable energy, which is cheaper and better for our environment.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 25(source)

A handshake “deal” won’t lower families' electric bills. Our communities need real relief and actual solutions that holds big corporations accountable.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 25(source)

NJ families can’t afford more empty promises from Trump’s #SOTU.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 25(source)

Four years have passed since Russia’s brutal & illegal assault in Ukraine. The resilience & courage of our friends in Ukraine in the face of Russia’s invasion exemplify our shared values of freedom & democracy. To all Ukrainians: I stand with you in solidarity & offer my unwavering support.

As our office works to get Adriana home, we will continue to fight back against the harm the Trump Administration is causing every day to all of our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

I'm going to the State of the Union tonight with the niece of my constituent, Adriana. Adriana is being held by ICE despite having protected status under the Convention Against Torture.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

I will stand with them today and every day until Adriana is back in New Jersey with her family and we stop the harm that the Trump Administration is inflicting on all of our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Adriana, Monica, and their family deserve so much better from America than what Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and ICE have subjected them to.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Monica’s aunt, Adriana Quiroz Zapata, faced horrors and abuse in her home country that no one should ever experience, only to be victimized again here in the United States by the Trump Administration.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Tonight, I am bringing Monica Isabel Van Housen to the State of the Union address. Here's why. 🧵
