I stood with @replamonica.bsky.social outside Delaney Hall last May, and I will continue to stand with her as she fights a political prosecution by the Trump Administration. Read more about the events of that day and the unfounded charges being pursued by Trump's DOJ:

The congresswoman LaMonica McIver arrived at Delaney Hall, a federal immigration jail in Newark, on May 9th. She was joining two other New Jersey Democrats—Bonnie Watson Coleman and Robert Menendez, Jr.—to tour the facility. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Under the Trump Administration, no one is safe from ICE's intimidation and aggression tactics. Not police officers, not Members of Congress, not U.S. citizens. We must stand together - for each other and for all of our communities.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Today was a great day for New Jersey!! Congratulations to my friend @MikieSherrill on being sworn in as the 57th Governor of New Jersey!!! Mikie is a proven leader, and I look forward to working with her and her administration to deliver results for all New Jerseyans.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 19(source)

Our joint statement with @repbonnie.bsky.social and @replamonica.bsky.social in support of immigrant protection legislation in New Jersey.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and reflective Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 19(source)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. embodied the fight for civil rights and justice in America. His legacy endures not only in memory, but in our responsibility towards carrying out his work forward. Now more than ever, I remain committed to advancing equality and justice for all.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 18(source)

That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding answers from DHS on the nature of these cancellations.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 18(source)

For many families, becoming a U.S. citizen is the result of years of hard work. Naturalization ceremonies honor that journey. Canceling long-scheduled ceremonies creates unnecessary hardship for people who did everything asked of them.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 18(source)

Always know if there’s something happening that doesn’t look or seem right, you can call us at (201) 309-0301. Community is how we keep our communities safe.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 18(source)

Our office is looking into reports of an ICE arrest on a NJ TRANSIT bus in West New York and will ensure that all measures are being taken to protect passengers from ICE’s reckless tactics.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 17(source)

With Republican cuts to public broadcasting, we must protect this funding so New Jerseyans get timely alerts when it matters most.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 17(source)

FEMA programs like the Next Generation Warning System help keep communities informed during emergencies. This legislation makes sure local broadcasters can keep sending life-saving alerts, even if federal grants are disrupted.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 17(source)

We must fight for each other and for the soul of our nation.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 17(source)

We can’t look away. We cannot be silent.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 17(source)

The stories we heard need to heard by all Americans because what is happening there can happen anywhere.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 17(source)

Today I went to Minneapolis to be part of a hearing hosted by @Ilhan and @RepJayapal on ICE's assault on Minnesota. We must fight for each other and for the soul of our nation.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 16(source)

I will always be a partner in Congress in fighting for families including supporting paid family and medical leave. The work continues.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 16(source)

Mothers face far too many challenges at what should be the most rewarding time of their lives. It was great to meet with maternal health advocates and creators at the Capitol.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 16(source)

Working together, we will continue to deliver results for our residents and build a more affordable, brighter future on behalf of everyone we have the privilege to represent.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 16(source)

Yesterday was a great day for Hudson County! Proud to have been in @JerseyCityNJ and @HobokenNJ yesterday as Mayors Solomon and Jabbour were sworn in to lead their incredible cities.
