📍 Spending time with seniors at the Joseph Connors Senior Center in Jersey City 🎄 Our seniors are the heart of our community. Great stopping by to wish some of our favorite residents a happy holidays! I'll always protect our seniors and ensure they have the resources they need. 🫶

The Trump Administration has attempted to impede our lawful oversight authority to inspect conditions of private detention facilities. Today’s deeply disturbing news is exactly why oversight is essential. Below is my statement on the reported death of an individual in detention at Delaney Hall:

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

Trump and DHS continue to lie to the American people. House Democrats will keep holding this Admin accountable and standing up for our communities.

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

This headline says it all. While the Admin claims it is only targeting criminals, the reality tells a different story. Only 3% of those arrested or detained over the past few months have actually been convicted of a crime.

An ever-larger share of ICE’s arrested immigrants have no criminal record • New Jersey Monitor

Immigration arrests under the Trump administration continued to increase through mid-October, reaching rates of more than 30,000 a month. But, rather than the convicted criminals the administration ha...

Instead of doing the people’s work and saving millions of Americans from skyrocketing health insurance premiums, Republicans packed up and headed home. Disappointed but not surprised. The fight continues.

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

This confirms what we have said all along - Members of Congress have a legal right to visit detention facilities & it's clear that this was yet another blatant attempt by the Trump Admin to protect themselves & private prison operators from accountability.

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

A judge just blocked the Trump's Admin's efforts to stop us from visiting our constituents & conducting oversight at immigration detention facilities without prior notice, as the law requires.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

Happy Birthday, NJ! 🎉 Grateful every single day to fight for the state we all love so much in Congress, and proud to be raising my kids to be Jersey Strong. 🗽🥯

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

For someone who’s “winning” so much, why is Trump so mad?

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

Congress must act to end Trump's unsanctioned military actions in Venezuela. As Vice Chair of Policy for the Hispanic Caucus, I joined Rep. Espaillat and other members of our leadership team in condemning the House GOP’s refusal to hold Trump to his oath of office.

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

We carry his work forward—and I’ll always miss his style, his leadership, and the looks he’d give me when we were making good trouble. 🙏🤍

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

Happy heavenly 67th birthday to my friend, Congressman Donald Payne Jr. He is deeply missed in New Jersey and the halls of Congress, but his legacy of justice and fearless advocacy lives on.

Democrats succeeded in forcing a vote to stop ACA premium hikes. It’s time for Speaker Johnson to immediately bring this vote to the floor & protect healthcare for all Americans

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

House Democrats have succeeded in forcing a vote to stop massive ACA premium hikes and prevent New Jersey families from losing their health coverage. This bill should be brought to the floor TODAY.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

🎉HUGE NEWS for Jersey City schools: Our office is excited to announce over $1.2 million in funding for JCPS’ Project STARR to train more school psychologists & expand mental health services for students. This funding means more support in schools & better care for our children who need it most. 🤝

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

Speaker Johnson’s reckless refusal to even allow a vote on extending critical ACA tax credits for families across New Jersey is yet another clear example of how far this Admin is willing to go to let working families suffer. This isn’t about politics, it’s about people’s lives.

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

Families across New Jersey are being crushed by rising electricity bills and AI data centers are a major reason why. Yet instead of addressing the problem, Republicans keep focusing on everything but the real issue. More to come.

Energy bills in US have increased 13% since Trump took office, new report finds

The amount of money Americans are paying toward their energy bills has increased since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, according to a new report.

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

Workers across America keep our country running. I joined my Labor Caucus colleagues in introducing this vital legislation that addresses the importance of fighting for worker's rights, safety, & dignity—especially with Trump in office. Your fight is our fight & we are in this - together. 🤝

I introduced the LET’S Protect Workers Act with @bobbyscott.house.gov, @norcross.house.gov, @debbiedingell.house.gov, & @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social. Our labor laws are so weakly enforced, and the penalties so minimal, that for many companies, breaking the law is just cheaper than following it.
