The fight for the soul of our nation continues.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 1(source)

We must protect TPS & the families across our communities who make our country stronger every day. My message to the Supreme Court is simple: Uphold the law & protect our neighbors. I will never stop fighting to keep our families safe from Trump’s assault on our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 1(source)

Gas prices are the HIGHEST they've been in 4 years because of Trump’s war with Iran. How long are Republicans going to go along with this reckless, costly war?

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 30(source)

HUGE: More than half of the construction contracts for the Hudson Tunnel are now in progress or finished. We are one step closer to the reliable, modern transit our communities deserve. I’ll keep fighting to ensure this project stays on track and delivers for our residents.

It’s really happening. $1.28B contract awarded to drill the Gateway tunnel under the Hudson

15 years after it was proposed, a $1.28 billion contract was awarded Monday to drill the Gateway Tunnel under the Hudson River.

If you live in NJ-08 & were targeted by a scam, please contact our office at (201) 309-0301 or fill out the form on our website. We’re here to help.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 30(source)

That's why I introduced legislation to create a national task force that would: ✅ Coordinate with all levels of government to catch scammers. ✅ Establish a national strategy to stop scams at the source with banks & social media companies like WhatsApp. ✅ Support victims & help them get justice.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 30(source)

Immigration scams are on the rise, targeting families during a time of fear and uncertainty.

Immigration Scams Surged as Trump’s Sweeps Lured Desperate People to Eager Defrauders

Con artists posing as ICE agents and immigration officers are using WhatsApp and fake court hearings to bilk vulnerable people out of their savings with empty promises to fix immigration problems. As ...

We aren't just fighting expansion—we’re working to shut these centers down for good. Join us:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 30(source)

Every visit we make to a detention center is more heartbreaking than the last. We're leading the NJ Delegation in telling Secretary Mullin: Listen to our community and stop the plans for this detention warehouse in Roxbury.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 29(source)

I voted NO on giving ICE an ADDITIONAL $70 billion to terrorize our communities. Republicans claim they want to cut "wasteful" spending, yet they are throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at tearing families apart. We will not allow this to continue. The fight for the soul of our nation continues.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 29(source)

Making Jersey proud on so many levels 🫶

‘Jeopardy!’ Champ Jamie Ding Calls Out ICE After 31-Game Winning Streak Ends: ‘The Government Is Going After Immigrants in a Way Unlike Anything We’ve Seen’

Jamie Ding's "Jeopardy!" winning streak came to an end after 31 victories and $882,605 in total earnings.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 29(source)

I’m grateful to Adrian Carrasquillo for sharing her story. We must bring awareness to Adriana and the 14 others deported with her. We will not stop fighting until she is home.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 29(source)

No one should have to endure what Adriana has. After nearly two years in ICE detention, our constituent was deported to the DRC. Each day has been a nightmare for Adriana and her family but we will be with them every step of the way.

ICE Deports Colombian Torture Victim—to Africa

Last year, we broke the story of a woman ICE had repeatedly tried to send to Mexico or a third country. Things have gotten even worse.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 29(source)

Addressing rising electric bills is a top priority. I introduced legislation with @repcasar.bsky.social that requires data centers to generate their own clean energy rather than straining our grid and raising your bills. Let's get it done.

Jeffries says AI data centers will be Dem priority

‘We have to protect the American rate payer,’ Jeffries says.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 29(source)

FIFA is set to make $11 billion in revenue, but they are sticking New Jersey taxpayers with a $48 million bill for extra transit service. This is unacceptable. That's why I joined Representatives Goldman and Pou to demand that FIFA pay its fair share.

NJ, NY representatives join call for FIFA to subsidize World Cup transit

NJ Transit has announced $150 train tickets to cover the $48 million cost for the event, as FIFA expects to make $11 billion.

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

We cannot allow our broken immigration system to be weaponized to detain and deport millions. Our fight continues so we can finally begin to heal from this national nightmare.

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

“The government’s interpretation … would send a seismic shock through our immigration detention system and society, straining our already overcrowded detention infrastructure, incarcerating millions..." - Judge Bianco

Appeals court rules against ICE’s mandatory detention policy

The decision marks a split at the appeals court level, setting up the possibility for the issue to reach the Supreme Court.

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

It was a privilege to meet with Subodh and his sister, Aarti. 🤝 We discussed the urgent need for better workforce inclusion and caregiving support. In Congress, I’ll always work to keep autism awareness, acceptance and action at the heart of everything we do. More to come.

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

Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear program was "obliterated” last summer. But in our Energy & Commerce hearing, Secretary Wright told a different story. 🤔

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

Urban agriculture fights food insecurity and builds stronger communities. That's why I am offering my legislation that will boost access to fresh, healthy food across our communities as an amendment to the Farm Bill. Let’s get it done.

As we approach Thanksgiving, too many families still struggle to access fresh, healthy food.
