Politics has no place in nuclear safety. We brought the receipts to hold the Trump Administration accountable.

Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez needs medical care ASAP and justice must be served by holding ICE accountable.

DHS is sending people to countries they have no connection to or family in - and taxpayers are footing a $410 MILLION bill to do it.

My Hispanic Caucus colleagues and I have demanded that DHS stop an insane $17M contract to allow ICE agents to use shock gloves. An agency that shoots people in broad daylight should not be entrusted with such inhumane weapons.

Our office has been receiving calls from families who were unable to find loved ones on the Online Detainee Locator System, and this report confirms why. This move by the Trump Admin marks another dark, dangerous attempt to disappear mass amounts of people from our communities.

Republicans have cancelled votes UNTIL November. Democrats are ready to do the work to meet this moment and protect our communities. I called them out on it in @energycommerce.bsky.social:

Over the weekend, an ICE agent shot and wounded Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez in Austin. From Texas to New Jersey, this will keep happening for as long as Republicans continue to fund ICE with zero accountability.

The DOJ has failed to release all of the Epstein files and bring justice and healing to Epstein's victims. We signed on to a discharge petition to force a vote to demand answers from DOJ. Anything short of releasing all of the Epstein files amounts to a cover up.

ICE should not be an acronym our children even know. We cannot continue to normalize ICE inserting itself into our daily lives. Kids should be kids.

Rep. Rob Menendez @menendez.house.gov · 18/09/2026

When we talk about illegal deportations and ICE raids, we're talking about our friends, neighbors, and family—sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers. Tearing away people who have committed no crime and sending them to countries they've never known is further proof that the cruelty is intentional.

Best album yet featuring some of the people & places that make NJ-08 special 🫶

Republicans have failed to regulate AI and have absolutely no plan or sense of urgency. Republicans have been an absolute failure in making life affordable and tackling today’s pressing issues. House Democrats are ready to lead and deliver for the American people.

From Union City to Elizabeth, the resilience of our Hispanic community is the heartbeat of NJ-08. Our people pour everything into building a better future for our children.

City-backed nonprofit grocery stores have come to Newark

Nearly 40,000 New Jerseyans have lost SNAP benefits due to Republicans' new work requirements - a crisis our families cannot afford. Thank you, Mayor Baraka, for standing up for our communities and fighting for a future where no one goes hungry.

A store that opened in the South Ward two years ago is now serving as a model for the whole city.

Families in New Jersey see the effects of climate change every day. Repealing the EPA rule that limits greenhouse gas emissions from power plants would set back progress for communities already overburdened by pollution and the impacts of climate change.

States sue to stop Trump rule that would make it harder for some immigrants to get green cards | CNN

Taking a child to the doctor or putting food on the table shouldn't cost anyone eligibility for a green card. I'm incredibly grateful NJ has joined the lawsuit to stop this Trump policy which punishes families who have Medicaid or SNAP from ever seeing the light of day. Your fight is our fight.

Just left an immigration court hearing for one of our constituents, and I’m glad she gets to remain in our community as her case proceeds. Thank you to Make the Road NJ for their partnership - we won’t stop fighting for everyone who calls NJ-08 home.
