McIver and Menendez Take Action NEWARK, N.J. - On Thursday, January 23, 2025, agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ ICE ”) conducted a raid on a local business in Newark, New Jersey. In response, Reps. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) and Rob Menendez (NJ-08) led a letter with Reps. Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06), Nellie Pou (NJ-09), and Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12) to the Department of Homeland Security demanding answers as to the circumstances surrounding the raid and the wellbeing of those involved. “The ICE raid that unfolded yesterday was despicable. They barged into our city to detain our neighbors, and they held and harassed immigrants, citizens and even a veteran of our military,” said Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. “I want to make it crystal clear to Trump and his administration: we mean business here in New Jersey. I will keep fighting for the protection of immigrants in the 10th District and nationwide.” “In week one of this administration, President Trump has inflicted fear on our communities and attempted to undermine our Constitution,” said Congressman Rob Menendez. “This reality hit home in our district yesterday, as ICE agents raided a business in Newark. In Congress, I will work to conduct the necessary oversight of ICE and ensure that they do not violate the constitutional rights of individuals in New Jersey, regardless of their immigration status. In the coming days and weeks, our office will continue to be a resource for everyone who needs it. We are here to help and will not rest until everyone who calls this community home is afforded the rights and the freedoms that they deserve.” Full text of the letter is available here.
