Even though ICE has purchased the warehouse in Roxbury, our work is not done. This facility runs counter to our state's values. Join our initiative to stop ICE's NJ expansion:

My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Austin community after last night’s tragic mass shooting. A night at a bar should never become a death sentence — not in America, not anywhere. We can do more—and we must do more—to end the gun violence epidemic.

Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. challenged America to be better through his words — and made us better through his actions. His faith guided his service. His love for America forged a path of freedom and opportunity for all. He stood in the gap when it mattered most. Rest in peace.

The Trump effect is real: Americans are paying more and getting less. This new analysis from CBS News finds that almost ALL of Trump’s tariffs were passed down to consumers and businesses— leading to higher costs. He promised to lower costs on day one—he lied.

Por meses hemos visto como agentes de ICE y DHS remueven sus matriculas para no ser identificados — rompiendo la ley y evadiendo consecuencias. Se acabó el abuso. Este proyecto busca obligar a los agentes a mantener sus matriculas y seguir la ley.

No one is above the law. For months, ICE agents have been removing their license plates to avoid being tracked by the public—breaking the law. I’m introducing the PLATE act to require them to keep their plates visible and follow the law.

This is 2-year-old Chloe Tipan Villacis and her father Elvis Tipan-Echeverría. On the way back from grocery shopping, DHS agents shattered his car window, arrested him, and took the toddler into federal custody, despite no known criminal history; Chloe was detained for 27 hours. Cruel beyond words.

Today a 1,000 jobs are at risk because of Trump’s grudge against the Garden State. His casinos failed. His hotels went bankrupt. And voters rejected him 3x. Maybe he’d build the Gateway Tunnel if it was gold plated plywood. But that’s not how we do things in Jersey.
