I came to Congress to uplift America’s workers and make our South Jersey neighborhoods safer, healthier, and stronger. That means fighting back against the harmful actions of Trump’s ICE, delivering federal investments back home, and supporting those who serve our communities and country.
We all have a role to play in strengthening South Jersey. Some march with our immigrant communities. Some answer our emergency calls. Others step up to serve in uniform. In every case, it is about commitment, responsibility, and putting others first.
It has been a busy few weeks in Washington, and I want to share an update on the work we are all doing to make South Jersey stronger.
Last week, an ICE raid in Lindenwold caused chaos in our community, resulting in dozens of children running away in fear from ICE agents. I joined community members who came together for an ICE Out protest in response to this horrific raid.
In Congress, I’m fighting back by calling for ICE to be abolished, signing onto a resolution to impeach Kristi Noem, hosting a Legal Observer Information Session with my congressional colleagues, and introducing legislation that would require all ICE agents to wear body cameras.
In South Jersey and across the country a few things are true: we stand with our neighbors against bullies and no one is above the law.
