This is Katy's story. It shows just how vital food, housing, job search assistance, and other services are to helping people get back on their feet.
I'm proud my office was able to secure federal funding to Lunch Break to help countless people like her.
If pedophile protector Todd Blanche is confirmed as Attorney General, the amount of outrage is going to be like nothing we have seen before. There are 3 million pages of the Epstein files Blanche is illegally refusing to release due to one reason: Trump raped children for fun.
The Supreme Court has gutted key protections against racial gerrymandering — a heartbreaking step backward that strips Black and Brown communities of political power and fair representation.
The Voting Rights Act is sacred. Generations bled for it. We must not go backwards.
We've spent years talking about Trump. The bigger question is how our system allowed one person to get so close to undermining our democracy.
We have to make sure when we win, we ensure someone like Trump never takes power again.
Every time I visit Delaney Hall, I meet parents, students, and business owners who were detained when they were taking the right steps they needed to obtain legal status—not the "worst of the worst."
@DHSGov ought to stop lying to New Jerseyans—ICE is rounding up our neighbors because Trump doesn't believe immigrants should have a chance at the American dream. It's as simple as that. https://t.co/tur8Unmm7b
What I’ve seen at Delaney Hall should outrage every American.
But this isn’t just an issue with Delaney Hall, it’s about how ICE is rotten to the core.
Today, I joined @reptimkennedy to cosponsor the Immigration Release Transparency Act and demand accountability.
Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he's pushing a $1.5 trillion military budget — a huge increase.
Here's an idea: How about we cut that number and put money toward lowering bills for families and actually making people's lives better. That's what I'll be fighting for this week.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republicans just BLOCKED Sen. Richard Blumenthal's attempt to get Veterans their retirement pay WITHOUT cutting disability benefits. Republicans will write blank checks to the military, then penny pinch when it's time to support our Vets.
Over the weekend, @SenatorAndyKim was blocked from speaking to individuals inside Delaney Hall.
ICE & the GEO Group are doing everything they can to block congressional oversight & evade accountability.
We will keep showing up & fighting to tell the stories of those inside Delaney & share their stories of resiliency that defines so many of our immigrant neighbors.
Preventing @GovSherrillNJ and @SenatorAndyKim from speaking directly to detainees at Delaney Hall shows us that Trump's ICE wants to hide its cruelty—but the American people know better.
I will continue to push for full transparency along with Governor Sherrill and the New Jersey Congressional Delegation—and continue fighting for improved conditions and this facility's ultimate closure.
Trump threatened to have me hanged over a 90-second video I made. I'm a sitting United States Senator and spent decades serving this country, and it didn't matter. Keeping your head down will not keep you safe. Staying quiet will not keep you safe.
This isn't about one slush fund or one president. I've introduced legislation to stop any president from using taxpayer money to bankroll their political allies and score a family sweeping Super Pardon.
Congress must act urgently to ban these ripoff schemes and collusive 'settlements.'
When Roe was overturned, a 15-year-old in my district called me and said, "I thought this was a right."
That call has stayed with me ever since.
Our daughters deserve more freedom, not less. We are not going back.
I've been working with @GovSherrillNJ and my colleagues in the delegation to shine a bright light on the conditions detainees are facing inside Delaney Hall, but that level of oversight is impossible when we can't talk with detainees.
These are your taxpayer dollars. You deserve full transparency and accountability for ICE and GEO Group as they continue to hide the truth from the American people.
