I’ve been notified of another death in ICE custody. This is the 55th death under Trump’s second term and the second reported death at Delaney Hall in less than 8 months. We must end the use of these deadly private prisons and reform our country’s cruel detention policies.

We just got back from Delaney Hall and we can confirm that Edwin Jovanny Lopez Cornejo died on Saturday while in ICE’s custody. More on what we heard today at Delaney:

Will give updates soon.

Ending scams - an issue that we can all agree on. Watch how we are moving legislation to address this important issue.

My heart continues to breaks for the families of over 50 people killed on ICE's watch this year. Unsafe conditions at privately run, for-profit detention facilities show a profound disregard for the well-being of mothers, fathers, sons & daughters. This cruelty must end. The fight continues.

Independent investigations. Full accountability.

This #NationalInternDay, a huge thank you to our amazing interns! Your hard work, energy, and commitment to our NJ-08 constituents drive our mission forward every day.

Grateful to Governor Sherrill for designating today as Brian Sicknick Day in New Jersey. Brian and his fellow Capitol Police officers held the line for our democracy on January 6, 2021 when violent insurrectionists attempted to overthrow our democracy.

If scammers steal your money, they shouldn't get to keep it. That's why we're reintroducing legislation to fix a legal loophole and help Americans get money back when they’ve been ripped off.

We can end this national nightmare if we are all in this fight - together

Investing in our children across Newark and beyond ❤️

TPS protections for Haitians have come to an end, putting many individuals at risk of deportation. I’ve signed on to force a vote on legislation to create an earned pathway to permanent residence for all eligible TPS recipients and a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.

No child belongs in immigration detention. That's why I unequivocally back Rep. Castro’s effort to shut down Dilley. We must end family detention now and safely reunite these families with their communities.

Great to hear how Jersey City has shown up for Departed Soles after their most recent flood. Please keep supporting your local breweries and restaurants especially during difficult times! Community is how we keep community strong. 🤝

Bringing so many fans together for the World Cup in NJ was unforgettable! 🫶 Shoutout to Kearny, Harrison, and East Newark - the undeniable cradle of American soccer. ⚽️

UPDATE: Our legislation passed through Energy & Commerce! This is exactly what good governance and planning ahead for future generations should look like. Next step: working to get a vote on the House Floor!

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.gov · last mo.

Unprecedented strain is pushing our power grid to the brink & driving up your monthly electric bills. Our new legislation would improve planning for future energy demand so we can prevent the issues families are experiencing today.

The details we heard about the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo need to heard by all Americans because what happened in Houston, in Minneapolis, and in Biddeford will continue to happen until ICE is stopped. We must fight for each other and for the soul of our nation.

Just as a child can't learn on an empty stomach, they can't learn while terrified their parents won't come home. Immigration must be central to our conversations about education. Thank you to all the NJEA members who came to DC for this important conversation.

Grateful to Governor Sherrill for taking bold action to stop grocery stores from price gouging across New Jersey.

Just landed in Houston because we still don’t have answers on Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death. Updates to come.

Our seniors rely on dedicated caregivers every single day, yet Trump's extreme anti-immigrant policies are decimating this workforce right when we need them most. This isn't only harming our seniors - it also risks devastating impacts on long-term care facilities and hospitals.

Retirement communities already grappling with labor shortages are being forced to terminate caregivers at a time when more Americans are living longer.

Jeff Van Drew held a House Judiciary hearing to spread more lies about what really goes on at Delaney Hall. Rep. McIver and I showed up to remind the GOP that we will always expose the truth.

🚨ICE sharing the sensitive data of millions of Medicaid recipients (data they should never have had in the first place) with Palantir is a massive privacy breach. Congress must act now to put up strict guardrails to stop our data from being weaponized further.

ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir

The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts.

Here’s what’s going to happen now: 1. Trump posts info on Truth Social that impacts the stock market. 2. His media company then charges subscribers for early, paywalled access to his social media posts. 3. Subscribers buy and sell based on his statements before the public finds out.

Truth Social will sell Wall Street quicker access to posts | CNN Business

Truth Social will sell Wall Street firms quicker access to market-moving posts from President Donald Trump, the company said on Thursday.

📍Lord Jagannath’s Ratha Yatra celebration in Jersey City 🙏 Grateful to our Hindu community for sharing such a special cultural and spiritual tradition. Wishing everyone joy, peace, and blessings on this sacred occasion!

"Energy is going to bring us back. That means we're going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs." - Trump in September 2024

US gas prices back up to an average of $4 a gallon again as the US and Iran launch attacks

The price is a national average, meaning drivers in some states have been paying well over $4 a gallon for a while now.

We must ensure Social Security never runs out of money. That’s why I am a proud co-sponsor of legislation that protects and strengthens the program so our seniors can continue to retire with dignity for generations to come.
