Weaponizing our data does NOT make us safer, it endangers everyone, regardless of where you were born.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 12(source)

Healthcare & housing should be sources of stability, not tools to create fear or division. That’s why my colleagues & I introduced legislation to prevent HUD, HHS, & CMS from sharing data with immigration enforcement officials.

Today, I introduced new bills with @kamlager-dove.house.gov to stop federal agencies from handing over sensitive health and housing data to ICE. Our personal data should never be mined and weaponized to fuel Trump's cruel mass deportation agenda. Protect immigrant families. Hands off our data.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 12(source)

At a time when costs are skyrocketing, it’s more vital than ever that we work together to deliver real solutions and make life more affordable for New Jersey families.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 12(source)

Spent tonight shoulder-to-shoulder with friends and neighbors, honoring the over 700 New Jerseyans we lost 24 years ago today. Today and every day, I'm grateful for our community and all those who work to keep us safe. #NeverForget

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 11(source)

The bravery of the first responders who answered the call that day and in the weeks following, and the resiliency of our nation in our darkest moment, are reminders of what is possible if we are united. We haven't forgotten. And we will never forget.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 11(source)

24 years ago, 9/11 changed our nation forever. Today and every day, we honor the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice—American heroes.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Her parents have turned their grief into advocacy to prevent future tragedies—and I’m proud to honor her life by introducing legislation to strengthen caffeine labeling. Consumers deserve to know what’s in their food and drinks. It’s time to update our regulations and protect public health.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Three years ago, we lost Jersey City native Sarah Katz. Today, I went to the House floor to honor her memory.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Let this be a clarion call for our nation: we must work together to heal our division and prevent these tragedies from ever happening again.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

My thoughts are with his family, friends, the UVU community who witnessed this horrific act and our entire country in this moment.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

We must all unequivocally condemn the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. Gun violence and political violence must have no place in our country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Protecting our neighborhoods and putting safety first must always come before special interests. We won’t stop until we get it done.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Since then, we’ve kept the pressure on the FAA—introducing legislation, demanding answers, and pushing for solutions to reduce non-essential helicopter traffic.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Five months ago, a tragic helicopter crash on the Hudson claimed six lives and shook our community.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

We can’t as a nation turn our back on these incredible individuals as doing so would be a betrayal of the promise of our nation.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

In these challenging times, my @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleagues and I will always stand with them. And we will always fight to ensure all DACA-eligible members of our communities are protected.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Dreamers across our communities are living in constant fear because of the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

House Democrats will keep working every single day to meet this moment and protect our communities - together.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Republicans claim their focus is on eliminating waste across the government and being more efficient. But they failed to do that. In reality, this was how they justified taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and slashing food assistance.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Funding our emergency management systems should be an issue EVERYONE cares about - regardless of political party. Yet Republicans are cutting the very resources, like NextGen 911 & emergency alerting through public broadcasting, that equip our first responders & keep all of us safe & informed.
