Due to unsafe weather conditions, our physical offices will be closed on Monday (1/26)—but we’re still serving you.

Casework and requests will still be processed at McIver.House.gov, and we’ll be monitoring phone lines for all urgent issues: (973) 645-3213. Be safe, NJ.

Today at 5pm, a state of emergency will go into effect across NJ due to severe weather.

Heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures are serious. Please stay warm, safe, and follow all safety protocols. Find the latest information at ready.nj.gov. Stay alert, New Jersey!

Federal agents have once again shot and killed someone in Minnesota.

This man was on the ground when agents fired. Get ICE out of ALL of our communities now. None of this is justifiable.

Jersey City was built by immigrants who came here looking for dignity and safety. Trump tried to target us for our sanctuary status. We won’t hand over our power to ICE.

Alongside @menendez.house.gov, I’m proud to fully support Mayor Solomon’s order to keep Jersey City a sanctuary city.

The Biking Fireman gets it. When we don’t design roadways with safety in mind, people get hurt.

That’s why I fought to pass $850,000 in funding through the House to transform the intersection at Lenape Park and Nomahegan Park—federal funding to enhance safety for YOU.

Since day one, the demand has been the same: oversight and accountability from this cruel administration.

Today, I returned to Delaney Hall alongside @booker.senate.gov and @menendez.house.gov We’re not backing down from holding Trump accountable in our communities and the halls of Congress.

Donald Trump is trampling on all of our freedoms. We won’t stop fighting to secure reproductive freedom. And we won’t stop standing up to him.

Roe v. Wade affirmed a simple truth: decisions about our bodies belong to us. A right that was secured—and then stripped away.

On the anniversary of the decision, I recommit to fighting for reproductive freedom and access to care for all.

Political retaliation has no place in our democracy. Lisa Cook was appointed to do her job—not serve Trump’s ego. 

We will stand together and never back down from holding this admin accountable.

The greatest threat to the homeland right now is DHS under Kristi Noem’s control.

Just last week, a parent in NJ-10 was detained by ICE after ordering food for his 6-year-old daughter. When her dad didn’t come home, the little girl was found crying and wandering for hours outside, parentless.

During a visit from constituents representing the math and science community, Team LaMonica discussed how our $1,000,000 investment in a Youth STEM program will empower Newark students to develop their passions and skills. This is how we grow the next generation of innovators!

Today is a historic day as my friend and colleague, Mikie Sherrill, was sworn in as the 57th Governor of New Jersey.

I’m excited to partner with @mikiesherrill.bsky.social in the fight to make life better for New Jerseyans—especially my NJ-10 community. The Garden State is in good hands.

@leahlitman.bsky.social and @wagnertonight.msnbc.com are totally right. The law says members of Congress can conduct oversight of ICE detention centers. Oversight is our responsibility and our duty, but I’m facing intimidation from this administration for conducting it.

I was doing my job then. I’m doing my job now. And I won’t back down.

It is my responsibility as your representative to show up, do oversight, and get answers for the people.

Being a mom shouldn’t come with impossible choices. 

I met with advocates for paid leave and maternal health equity from Bobbie discuss policies that put families first.

The Congresswoman Criminalized for Visiting ICE Detainees LaMonica McIver went to tour an immigration jail in her district. Now she faces seventeen years in prison.

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions.

The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that.

The Congresswoman Criminalized for Visiting ICE Detainees LaMonica McIver went to tour an immigration jail in her district. Now she faces seventeen years in prison.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them.

Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong.

Protecting people is my job. No one—not this administration, not ICE—will keep me from doing it.

I sat down with @newyorker.com to talk about why I’m not backing down in the face of political intimidation.
