So grateful to spend time at Yolanda Alonzo’s L.O.V.E. Inc. in Newark—meeting students and founder Rukmini, to learn more about the incredible work they do to support survivors of domestic violence and uplift the NJ-10 community.

Donald Trump is ripping up the Gateway project, which would be good for NJ business, NJ commuters, and great for our state—but he doesn’t care about making your life better, he cares about himself.  I joined @booker.senate.gov to demand better. Let’s get the Gateway project back on track.

The president doesn’t think Black and brown people are human. It’s in posts and it’s in his policies. We’re numb to this from him, but we won’t stop calling it what it is: racist and disgusting.

Small Businesses are the backbone of NJ-10’s economic opportunity—and they deserve all the tools to thrive. If you have a small business or are thinking about starting one, Join us for a webinar on navigating government contracts to unlock new growth in your business!

I believe investing in young leaders is how we secure our community’s future.  Through my Congressional Youth Advisory Council, students grow as leaders, learn how government works, and share their voices on the issues that matter at home.

When workplace protections are stripped away, and safety is ignored, women pay the price. Alongside @ilhanmn.bsky.social and @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, shining light on Trump’s attack on women and fighting back and to keep women safe at work, in our neighborhoods, and in our communities.

Follow the money. There are people who have volunteered to go back to their country, but are still waiting in ICE detention centers… Why? Because private prisons make money off of locking people in cages.

We should definitely abolish ICE.

Today, on her heavenly birthday, we celebrate the courage of civil rights trailblazer Rosa Parks. By sitting down on a Montgomery bus, she stood up for freedom and inspired changemakers everywhere.

Tonight—we’re looking at the state of health in NJ. Join me and former NJ DOH commissioner, Jeff Brown, as we share important information, practices, and policy solutions to improve healthy living and wellbeing in New Jersey.

“I’m not going to let them bully me out of doing my job. I’m just not,” says Congressmember LaMonica McIver.

On the House floor, I congratulated Lieutenant John Swandrak on 30 years of service to the Cranford community and for a legacy of service, fairness, and true community partnership for all of New Jersey to follow. Happy retirement, Lieutenant Swandrak!

ICE doesn’t want you to know what they are doing in the dark. The admin wants to rip up legislative oversight. That’s exactly why we have to keep showing up to do it.  I spoke with @slate.com about standing up to ICE and the admin trying to send me to prison for doing my job.

Good health shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be accessible.   Join us on Facebook Live for an event that centers NJ-10. We’ll share health info, prevention tools, and real tips for living longer and healthier lives. See you tomorrow night!

Be safe. Know your rights. Stand up for dignity.

Team LaMonica is showing up for you! This month we have mobile office hours across the district. We’re ready to help with casework, assist in navigating federal agencies, and more. Stop by!

You cannot conduct legislative oversight of an ICE facility from behind a desk. Fighting this case allows me to fulfill my congressional duty—holding this administration accountable.

This Black History Month, let us celebrate the heroes who have paved the way for us and recommit ourselves to the work still ahead of us.

This isn’t just about one Black girl from Newark, this is about making sure we can hold Trump accountable. And every day we’re seeing more attacks from this admin on officials who are doing their jobs.

I was grateful for the opportunity to honor the legacy of MLK and pour into student scholarship recipients.  I urged our young people to ask, “where do we go from here?” and am asking young people to write under that question in our Black History Month Essay Contest. Applications open now!

The process is the punishment.  This administration is using your tax dollars to prosecute me. This is a tool to further their agenda to silence and intimidate anyone who can hold ICE accountable. I’m not going to let them bully me out of doing my job.

Trump’s administration is going after anyone who can and will hold them accountable. Arresting Don Lemon—a journalist—is part of their concerted, ongoing effort to silence anyone who disagrees with them or even tries to shine a light on dissent.

When I’m working in my district, or even just walking around my neighborhood, I hear about how expensive life is.  Congress has a job to do. That’s why I advocated for the expansion of affordable housing and rental assistance by co-sponsoring the Housing for All Act of 2025.

Some amazing moms from @momsrising.org—alongside their babies—came to the Hill to present “Sparkling for Families" trophies! 🪩 As a mom myself, it’s no surprise to hear that making the basics easier to afford is a top priority. And I am working on tackling it every day in Congress.

After being attacked at a town hall last night, @ilhanmn.bsky.social didn’t let it stop her from showing up for her constituents. She is fearless. But this is sick. Leaders are being targeted just for doing their jobs. This is exactly what Trump’s hatred and bigotry lead to.

Kristi Noem has got to go.  Weeks ago, I called on her to resign. And I’m an original co-sponsor of a resolution calling for her impeachment. Step down or get impeached—one way or another, we’re getting Kristi Noem out. Her cruelty must end.

Trump’s pause on the Gateway Program is a gut punch to all of New Jersey—ripping away thousands of jobs, guaranteeing longer commutes, and clawing at our economic future. These dollars were fought for in Congress. They belong to NJ commuters, not Trump.

Greg Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol chief and is set to leave Minneapolis. Pressure works. Getting Bovino out is a start, but it’s nowhere near enough. We must remove Kristi Noem and get ICE out of our communities.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of six million Jews and all victims of the Nazi regime, and recommit to fighting hatred and antisemitism.

NJ-10 has so much talent. Meet the writers who won last year’s NJ-10 Black History Month Essay Contest. This could be you! Submit to this year’s essay contest by Feb. 23rd!

MLK believed that true leadership is not measured by recognition, but by how much you uplift others. Through powerful remarks, cultural dances, and musical performances, our community poured into our students at Irvington’s 39th Annual MLK Commemorative Tribute.

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.

Navigating all of the agencies and procedures that come with filing taxes can be tricky. I want to bridge the gap by inviting you to my NJ-10 tax webinar! Hear from experts who can help you file your taxes and more.

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!

My job in Congress is protecting the people I represent from this president and his actions. I’m a mom. It’s just what we do.

Black history month is around the corner…so is the deadline for our NJ-10 Congressional Essay Contest! Will YOU be the winner in 2026?

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.
