Our constituent, Abdellatif Hafraoui from Bayonne, spent over 100 days in Delaney Hall after ICE arrested him at Newark Airport- despite having no criminal record.
After his family contacted our office, we were able to engage with federal agencies and get him back to NJ and later released on bond.

What. A. Game!!!!

👊🇺🇸🔥
I'm proud to lead legislation that expands urban farming and helps ensure every community has access to healthy, affordable food.
📍Visiting an Inspired Growing farm at Wakeman Elementary in Jersey City
🌱 Urban agriculture fights food insecurity and builds stronger communities. Great to see how Wakeman Elementary is helping ensure students have access to healthy options while learning hands-on through growing.
Appreciate the opportunity to join today’s important conversation on the work that remains to end the harm ICE is inflicting on all of our communities. In these difficult times, I know deep in my heart, that we shall overcome.
💪 Thank you to Make the Road NJ for all the work you and your members do every single day.
📍Joining Make the Road NJ and state leaders in Elizabeth
Went back to Delaney Hall today with Rep. Pallone to conduct an oversight visit & to meet with our constituents who are being detained there.
Each visit is more heartbreaking than the last. Mothers & fathers who have been separated from their children.
The fight continues & we will not relent.
We were so impressed with everyone's creative submissions that address real-world issues facing our communities. It’s such a privilege to represent such innovative students!
Thankful for their participation and the opportunity to meet with them to discuss their apps!
Congratulations to all of our 2025 Congressional App Challenge winners!
Congratulations to all the new police officers who have been sworn in to the Newark Police Department!
Such a historic moment for our Latino community, and I look forward to working with them and Mayor Baraka to keep our communities across Newark safe.
But you can! Join our initiative to stop the warehousing of human beings in New Jersey:
Tom has been silent when Americans were shot in broad daylight. Tom has been silent when ICE moved to purchase a warehouse to detain our neighbors. Tom will never find his voice to stand up to Trump and stand up for our communities.
Rep. Tom Kean ignored the pleas of his own constituents and even GOP councilmembers in his own district. Now ICE has purchased a warehouse in Roxbury to create a massive detention facility.
My statement on ICE's purchase of a warehouse in Roxbury.
