Congresswoman, New Jersey’s Ninth District

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.

✅🤝I'm proud to announce that we've secured another round of multi-million dollar funding to drive change in our district. In Paterson, this funding will empower young residents and enhance social services citywide.

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.

ICE and DHS have been evading state transportation laws by removing, exchanging, or misusing license plates. They think they’re above the law. They aren’t. Read my letter to Kristi Noem.

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.

Had a great time catching up with Amb.Ariful Islam at the Capitol today! Thanks to the Bangladesh Project for bringing us together. As a proud representative of our district's large and vibrant Bangladeshi population in Congress, it's always a pleasure to meet with Bangladeshi leaders.🇺🇸🇧🇩l

Thinking about all the reporters laid off at the Washington Post. A healthy democracy depends on strong journalism and on the relentless pursuit of truth, fairness, and accountability. At a moment like this, that need is more urgent than ever for our country.

Donald Trump’s assault on the Gateway Tunnel Project could cost New Jersey over 100,000 jobs and $20 billion. Stop the nonsense, let’s finish this job.

In our district, the Lower Saddle River cleanup was authorized in 1986, but contamination has prevented action. I introduced the CLEAN-UP to change that and accelerate projects nationwide.

I voted NO on today’s funding package. Not one more cent to Kristi Noem’s ICE and DHS until they adopt reforms, protect our communities, and end the recklessness.
February 3, 2026 at 7:33 PM
Today I stood in front of ICE Headquarters in Washington with one clear message:
➡️Get masked agents out of our streets.
➡️ Protect our communities.
➡️ Fire Noem.

Beef up 16%. Coffee nearly 20%. Zero bills this week to lower grocery prices. Families are paying more, Congress must step up. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/b...

Amid the chaos in the world, if you’re looking for a quiet place to be alone—or just stay warm—try your nearest showing of the Melania documentary.

Let’s be clear, while unsurprising from this admin, this is a blatant attack on free speech and the First Amendment. It undermines the very principles this country was built on.
Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Republicans are worried about Greenland. Americans are worried about affording a home. That says it all.

Daily, the tunnels carry vast numbers of passengers. This funding brings hope to nearby neighborhoods and commuters in New Jersey. It’s time for action, not excuses. Read our letter.
January 28, 2026 at 9:41 PM
DHS is supposed to protect us, not instill fear and chaos on Americans. It’s time for Donald Trump to fire Kristi Noem, if not the House must impeach her immediately.

✅💪In Cliffside Park, the 2026 Community Project Funding will bring needed federal dollars to replace broken sanitary pipes and install new storm pipes.

As co-chair of the Congressional Bangladesh Caucus I am urging Secretary Rubio to support democracy efforts in Bangladesh ahead of next month’s elections. These elections are vital for the future and well being of Bangladesh. 🇧🇩 🇺🇸

🤝✅In Edgewater, the 2026 Community Project Funding investments will enhance water infrastructure and elevate quality of life.

DHS’ disregard for human life is unacceptable and un-American. Read our letter.

👀✅This year’s Community Project Funding projects will bring vital funds to Hawthorne for pipe replacement and water infrastructure improvements.
