The fish rots from the head down. Trump has empowered Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem to have Americans killed on our streets, to terrorize our communities, and to constantly lie to the press and the American people. They need to go. And so does Trump.

Breaking Axios: Kristi Noem's language that Alex Pretti wanted to "massacre" federal agents was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller. That's according to four sources who spoke to Axios. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

While I'm grateful that a federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump Admin from deporting 5 year old Liam Ramos and his father, it should never have gotten to this point. Using a 5 year old as bait and then sending him to a detention center should outrage every American. Our fight continues.

Now more than ever, it's important to stay educated and know your rights. Sign up at the link in our bio.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

Community is how we keep our communities safe. That's why our team is partnering with the NJAIJ to host an emergency legal observer information session tomorrow with @repbonnie.bsky.social and @replamonica.bsky.social to learn how to document ICE/immigration enforcement officers' conduct.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

Our Muslim friends and neighbors are an essential part of the fabric of our state. This #MuslimAmericanHeritageMonth, we recommit ourselves to uplifting our Muslim communities and all their contributions that make our communities stronger.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

Two @housedemocrats.bsky.social have now been assaulted in a single week. Trump’s hateful, dangerous rhetoric fuels this kind of political violence, and we must all reject it. America is better than this.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 28(source)

I’m relieved to hear that Rep. Ilhan Omar is safe. Incredibly powerful that she continued the town hall with her constituents after being attacked.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 27(source)

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people & millions of others murdered by the Nazis. Antisemitism & hate have no place in our country. I will continue to stand with all of our communities to rid our country of all forms of hate - today & every day.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 27(source)

Immediately after Trump froze funding for Gateway, @kim.senate.gov and I met with union workers on the ground. We've been fighting every day to deliver the safe, reliable, modern transit our communities deserve.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 27(source)

Bus-to-person collisions account for 35% of all bus transit fatalities. That's why Congressman Frost and I introduced legislation to keep pedestrians safe by eliminating bus operator blind spots. We must do everything we can to protect pedestrians and our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 27(source)

We will keep fighting any decision this Administration makes that delays or impedes the progress already made on this project of national importance.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 27(source)

We have already made real progress on Gateway, with major milestones reached on schedule and on budget. Yet the Trump Admin wants to jeopardize good-paying jobs and put our region’s growth at risk.

The Trump administration threatened to defund the project at the start of last year’s government shutdown.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 27(source)

I will always go straight to where the fight is, whether at Delaney Hall or in Minnesota. And if the Administration wants to push back, we're Jersey and we won’t back down.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

I agree with my friend Rep. Robert Garcia. The time to reform ICE has passed. This is an agency that cannot be fixed. It is one that needs to no longer exist.

"ICE needs to be abolished, Noem must be impeached" Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) joins Katy Tur to react to some of his Republican colleagues calling for an investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent. www.ms.now/katy-tur/wat...

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

Republicans need to take a good hard look in the mirror if they think what’s happening in our country right now is acceptable. It’s long past time for them to use their voices to hold the Trump Administration accountable and to do right by the American people.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

We will stay on this Administration and House Republicans until this reign of terror ends. We will not relent in the fight for the future of our country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

It shouldn’t have taken the tragic and preventable loss of two Americans to get to this point. The Trump Administration should have never sent paramilitary forces into our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

Trump still has confidence and trust in Noem after she oversaw the shootings of two Americans in broad daylight and tried to tarnish their names. Since Trump won't remove her, we will through articles of impeachment.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

We must hold the line to protect our communities & stop the violence being perpetuated by the Trump Administration.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

I voted against DHS funding. I’m proud NJ’s senators are going to vote against it. But that’s just the start. Rep. Casar’s five non-negotiable demands are what we need to do next & I’m fully on board.

Senate Democrats say they won't vote for ICE funding without reforms. Good. Now, we must negotiate hard. At least five demands must be non-negotiable before the bill comes to the House:
