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...

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.

A federal judge is considering Minnesota’s challenge to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

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:

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

Tom Homan is not the answer to the crisis the Trump Administration has created in Minnesota. Homan, Greg Bovino and Kristi Noem are all threats to our communities. The only answer is for ICE and CBP to get the f out of Minnesota NOW.

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

Due to this weekend’s storm, our offices will be physically closed today (Monday, January 26th). Our staff will continue to be available to help you with casework and other assistance. For help, please visit our website at menendez.house.gov or call at (201) 309-0301.

🤝 Continued the observance alongside Rep. McIver, Mayor Solomon, and neighbors at the NAACP MLK Jr. Annual Breakfast.

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

In these perilous times, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome. 🤝 Joined our community at Temple Beth-El for the 40th annual commemoration of Dr. King’s life and legacy.

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

Funding DHS is funding the killings of Americans through this Administration’s recklessness and extreme agenda. All Senators should Vote NO.

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

Thank you to Senators Kim and Booker for committing to voting no on DHS funding. The Senate should NOT vote to fund an unaccountable DHS, led by a lawless Secretary Noem who is more loyal to Trump than to our country and who should be impeached.

Senator Andy Kim

I’m not voting to fund this lawless violence. Trump’s abuse of power is tearing us apart. We have 3 years left of this presidency. Either we stand up and protect our democracy now, or we risk going down a path that is unthinkable, will hurt countless people and do irreversible damage to our country.

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

These acts of violence are fueled by those in power who dehumanize those they disagree with & normalize a culture of violence. But we will not relent in fighting for the soul of our nation.

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

So thankful to hear that my friend Rep. Frost is safe but this is another unfortunate reminder that no one is safe in Trump’s America.

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

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

If you need a warm place, call 2-1-1 or visit nj211.org and please look after your neighbors.

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

Community is how we keep our communities safe. That’s why I joined Governor Sherrill, Hudson County Executive Craig Guy and Mayor Doyle to visit a warming center in Kearny - making sure residents have a safe, warm place during these extremely cold days.

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

If Minnesota is where the fight for the soul our nation is going to be then I will go back again and again until ICE is out of Minnesota. And I will keep fighting until ICE is out of all of our communities. And I will keep fighting until ICE no longer exists.

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

I went to Minnesota last week after a mother was shot and killed by ICE. Today, another person was shot and killed in broad daylight.

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

We will not be silent. We cannot be silent. And it’s shameful that Republicans see what’s happening in Minnesota - what’s happening to our country - and refuse to say a f’ing word.
