Detainees are telling us they are being treated brutally. Trump’s admin is trying to stop us from seeing it. And GEO Group has a 15yr $1B contract to run Delaney Hall. Detainees took a huge risk to tell us what’s happening behind closed doors. We must listen and take action now.

I’ve been to Delaney Hall and heard concerns of the lack of food, medical care, and the abusive treatment making detainees send out an SOS letter, crying out for help. I told @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social that I won’t stop fighting to put the abuse to an end.

On Armed Forces Day, we honor the brave service members who keep us safe. From NJ-10, thank you for your bravery, sacrifice, and commitment.

At every step, this administration has tried to stop Congress from conducting oversight because they know we’ll see their abusive behavior. I joined @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social to talk about my bill to expose the abuse they want to hide and let us speak up for our immigrant neighbors.

Join me tonight on @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social as I reflect on the year since my first visit to Delaney Hall, discuss my new bill to protect congressional oversight, and explain why I won’t back down in the face of Trump’s attacks.

I’m overjoyed to be expecting a baby this fall. No matter what the world brings, I will keep living my life and doing this job I love. We bring great humans into this world to change it. ❤️

Spirit Airlines’ closure led to abrupt job loss for tens of thousands of employees at airports, including EWR. The impact and uncertainty for NJ-10 workers is real. There are resources to help.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! This May, we honor the generations of Jewish Americans whose leadership and culture have helped shape NJ-10 and our nation.

Today, I joined @repbonnie.bsky.social @menendez.house.gov to make one thing clear: we will expose all abuses ICE is trying to keep in the dark. The Trump administration is trying to block oversight and intimidate critics. My new bill protects our right to hold leaders accountable.

Oversight is how we keep people’s rights and dignity from being taken away by this cruel administration. ICE can’t operate in the dark—we won’t let them. A year after Delaney Hall, I’m introducing the No Delay for Immigration Oversight Act with @repbonnie.bsky.social and @menendez.house.gov.

Today is your chance to see NJ-10’s artistic talent! Come celebrate young artists at our Congressional Art Competition Ceremony at the Newark Museum of Art at 4:00PM. See you there! 🎨

Happy Mother’s Day to all NJ-10 moms! You’re real life superheroes, showing up to make our families and communities better every day.

A year ago today, I went to Delaney Hall to conduct oversight of ICE. I went to protect our community that lives in fear and expose the abuses ICE tries to hide in the dark. Though Trump's DOJ wants to intimidate and imprison me, I won't back down from standing for what's right.

Sending your political opponents to prison is something authoritarians do. And it is exactly what the Trump admin wants to do to @replamonica.bsky.social for her doing her oversight job. Proud of stand with LaMonica. We will not be intimated by Trump. www.marieclaire.com/politics/con...

@replamonica.bsky.social embodies the strength, courage, and grace her constituents deserve and that this moment demands. We won't stand by while Donald Trump attacks this duly-elected Black Congresswoman and tries to silence her for doing her job. We've got your back, sis💜

When you come after one of us, you come after all of us. We stand with our sister @replamonica.bsky.social , and we will continue to mobilize in her defense.

Hillside Fire Department deserves the best resources as they risk their lives to keep us safe. I fought to support our firefighters by securing $1,600,000 in federal funding for ladder truck replacement. Our firefighters deserve the best!

In a moment that is testing me, I’m lucky to have these women standing with me in the fight for accountability from this administration.  I spoke with Marie Claire about why I’m not backing down—and how it’s easier to stand up with my fellow congresswomen by my side.

Keeping NJ-10 safe means ensuring we can walk, bike, and drive without harm. That's why I fought for and secured $850,000 to make traffic calming improvements on the intersection at Kenilworth Boulevard & Lenape Park.

Clean water is essential to keeping NJ-10 healthy. That’s why I brought home $1,048,000 in federal funding for pump station upgrades in West Orange. I was glad to present the check to Mayor Susan McCartney in celebration of this win.

I’m bringing federal funding home because everyone needs clean water. I was proud to bring over $2 million to Orange Township to make that a reality. These funds will relocate and improve a critical drinking water source, providing safer drinking water for residents.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Today, we celebrate the resilience, culture, and contributions of Mexican Americans who continue to shape NJ-10 and our country as a whole.

It’s truly an honor to invest in NJ-10’s future leaders.  I was so happy to host my Congressional Youth Advisory Council’s final meeting in which students presented their original ideas for legislation. I can’t wait to see how these scholars will impact our community. 💜

From cuts to healthcare to rising energy costs, we are all suffering from Trump’s policies that we cannot afford. This National Small Business Week, Small Business Committee Democrats are recommitted to lowering costs, restoring the SBA, and making sure entrepreneurs get a fair shot.

It's the perfect time to stop by Mobile Office Hours! See where Team LaMonica is heading in NJ-10 this May.

I got my start working in public schools and I’ve seen the incredible sacrifices NJ-10 teachers make every day to show up for our students. This Teacher Appreciation Week and every week, I’m fighting for policies that support our educators and the students they serve.🍎

Yesterday, a plane landing at Newark airport hit a pole on the NJ turnpike. I’m grateful the plane landed safely and that the driver of the damaged truck has been released from the hospital. We are in touch with the airline and the FAA and will keep working to keep NJ-10 safe.

This week in the 10th (and in Washington!) Team LaMonica was… 🤰🏽Getting to the root issues affecting mothers with @momsrising.org. 🎥 Celebrating authentic voices at Newark’s LGBTQ Film Festival. 💪🏾Uniting with workers for better wages on May Day.

May is National Bike Month! I love riding for health, connection, and access to the outdoors. That’s why I introduced the Parks to People Act to expand greenways and make it easier for families to have longer bike adventures!

Blocking access to Mifepristone, a safe and FDA-approved medication, does not protect women; it makes us less safe.  Reproductive rights and access to abortion save lives. We will not stand idly by as judges make decisions that should only belong to patients and their doctors.

If you’ve been impacted by Spirit Airlines closing, below is information on the resources available for fare-capped rebooking. PANYNJ is continuing to address the situation and recommends Spirit passengers find alternate travel before arriving at airports.

As a member of the Labor Caucus, I’ll never stop fighting for NJ-10 workers. On May Day and every day, I’m proud to advocate in Congress for better wages, benefits, working conditions, and the ability to collectively bargain and form a union.

In a time when too many in the LGBTQ community are told to shrink themselves, it’s the commitment to telling their stories that makes all the difference. It was a privilege for Team LaMonica to celebrate our talented filmmakers at the opening of the Newark LGBTQ Film Festival.

Crime in Newark is at a 60% low in 20 years. That’s what happens when we treat violence like a public health issue and invest in solutions that don’t rely on incarceration. During National Reentry Week, I hosted a panel discussing solutions to keep our communities safe.

Kenilworth residents are pushing back on the construction of an AI data center in their community—and I’m joining their fight.   I introduced a bill to stop surprise AI data center development so that residents will be notified before it’s too late to change the outcome.

Today’s Supreme Court decision was a blow to the Voting Rights Act and decades of Black progress.  I joined the @cbc.house.gov to demand a vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act immediately. We will keep fighting to defend our rights and representation in Congress.

The Supreme Court just gave states the ability to steal power from Black voters and hand it to those who want to drag us back in time.  They gutted the Voting Rights Act, legislation that people bled for. A court that does not protect voting rights is not a court at all.

When Trump can’t win, he cheats. He’s trying to rig the election process because he knows voters are not happy with the chaos he’s caused.  Today, with Homeland Security Democrats, I spoke with election officials about Trump’s overreach and how we can protect your right to free and fair elections.

This week on the floor of the House, I had the honor of congratulating Lucia Ranieri for winning the NJ Wrestling State Championships, the first win for a Roselle Park high schooler in 73 years! NJ-10 is cheering for this win and excited for more to come!

If an AI data center is being built, people should know, and be able to organize and act before the cost gets passed on to them. I introduced the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act last week to make sure you have a voice in your community when it comes to AI.

No one should be able to change the fabric of a community and leave its residents to absorb the costs.  I’m introducing the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act of 2026 so that you can organize and speak out when corporations try to silence your voice.

Public transportation should be safe, affordable, and equitable. From local initiatives to federal funding programs, I’m working to expand transit in New Jersey. I joined @hudcostreets.org to talk about it.

Fighting to end gun violence is about protecting our communities. Honored to be recognized by Community Justice Action Fund with the Congresswoman @mcbath.house.gov Triumph Policymaker Award. I’m always grateful to fight alongside leaders committed to saving lives.

Rep. David Scott was a true voice of the people and trailblazer as the first Black chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture. I’m praying for his family, loved ones, and district as we all mourn the loss of a giant in public service.

This Earth Day, let’s recommit to protecting our planet for our people. I’ll keep fighting for clean air, safe water, and environmental justice to build a sustainable future for the NJ-10 and beyond. 🌍

So proud to highlight all five winners of this year’s Black History Month Essay Contest. Their work examined Black history and what’s to come. Check out some excerpts from these amazing writers!

If there’s one thing about New Jersey, it’s that we elect fighters. Excited to welcome a fighter to our ranks! Can’t wait to partner with Analilia Mejia make life better in NJ.💜

On the House floor, I was proud to congratulate Mayor Patricia Guerra-Frazier, for being appointed Mayor of Union Township in NJ-10. She is the first Latina to hold this role. I’m wishing her all the best as she continues to serve Union.

NJ-10 businesses have been hit hard by Trump’s tariffs. Has your business paid IEEPA tariffs? Here’s where to go if you have been impacted by this reckless policy:

This week in the 10th (and in Washington!) Team LaMonica was… 📢 Speaking up for Temporary Protected Status for our immigrant neighbors with TPS Alliance. 🤰🏽Advocating for Black maternal health with Brick Networks and First Lady Linda J. Baraka. 🏫 Discussing public school funding with KIPP.
