While we work hard every day to push back against the Trump Administration in DC, we have been all across the district engaging with our constituents. Here’s what we’ve been up to: 🧵

Great town hall last night in Jersey City with @newjerseyoag.bsky.social. Always enjoy getting to engage with our neighbors and share the work we’re doing both here and in DC. Thanks to everyone who came out and made their voices heard. We are in this fight - together.

I believe the Trump Administration’s “flood the zone” strategy is meant to distract from certain harm they’re causing that they don’t want people to know about - specifically, the misuse of your personal data. Here’s what I mean 🧵

We need an ALL hands approach to taking on this Administration, from AGs, to law firms, to our academic institutions. I applaud these colleges and universities for doing the right thing for their students and communities. Their commitment to what is right should inspire us all to continue the fight.

Don't forget to RSVP for tomorrow's Town Hall with @newjerseyoag.bsky.social! Visit menendez.house.gov/townhall for more.

Happy Earth Day! Started the day off with a Community Cleanup in Elizabeth, followed by an important conversation at the Hackensack River Nation Summit. Everyone deserves clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and safe green spaces to play. That's what we're fighting for 🤝🌎🌲

Join me and @newjerseyoag.bsky.social for a Town Hall this Thursday at 6:00pm. We’ll focus on our efforts to protect our democracy and strengthen our communities in response to the first 100 days of the Trump Administration. Space is limited, and RSVP is required. More: menendez.house.gov/townhall

In the wake of the recent helicopter tragedy in Jersey City that took six lives, operators like FlyNYON offered discounts to get people back in helicopters instead of pausing operations to ensure the utmost safety.

It is unacceptable that in 2025 Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause.

This Administration has proven once again that they will stop at nothing to inflict fear upon our immigrant neighbors. That’s why I led 48 House Democrats in demanding that the Administration and HUD reverse course and avoid this unnecessary harm. More: menendez.house.gov/hudletter

The Trump administration mistakenly sent emails to Ukrainian refugees with temporary legal status, urging them to leave immediately or "the federal government will find you." This behavior is unacceptable — @menendez.house.gov and I led a letter condemning it.

Two weeks ago, DHS erroneously sent a letter to Ukrainians living in the U.S. legally telling them that they must leave the country. This was a terrifying shock to so many families. Along with @quigley.house.gov and 37 of our colleagues, we’re demanding answers.. More: menendez.house.gov/u4uletter

Elizabeth City Council has made clear that a sale of the former Union County jail must not result in another private detention center in our community. Grateful for their courage - as well as Commissioners Leon, Granados, and Delisfort - to stand up for what's right. We are in this fight - together.

The case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia isn’t just a full-blown constitutional crisis, it must be the red line for every American. Here’s why: 🧵

Great day connecting with the team from Bridges Outreach in Newark, the Alzheimer’s Association, Whole Spectrum Autism, and the American Friends Service Committee. Powerful insights on the unhoused, those with autism, medical research, and immigration that power our work. Every. Single. Day.
