Weâre grateful to @GovMurphy for his leadership in addressing health care disparities that disproportionately affect Black communities, Latinx communities, and LGBTQ+ communities across our state. New Jersey can and must do better. Itâs past time to close the gap.
Today I signed an executive order establishing an advisory council on HIV, STIs, and viral hepatitis, led by the @NJDeptofHealth. While the federal government removes critical public health information from its websites, we will not waver from protecting public health.

NOW: Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway. Read more: https://t.co/K60ImdzmDi

What do you call a political system where one extremely wealthy private citizen controls all government spending with zero oversight, obvious conflicts of interest and an extreme ideological agenda? A less democratic system than China, Cuba or virtually any other nation on Earth.

@joeymdfox @MikieSherrill @Josh4Jersey @SteveSweeney_NJ @rasjbaraka @NJGlobe @StevenFulop 1 thing all NJ Dems running for Gov support? An end to warrantless ICE raids. After ICE detained immigrants & citizens, including a veteran in Newark, itâs clear we need more protections to uphold the constitution. The solution? Pass the Immigrant Trust Act now. #NJGovDebate

The ICE raid on Thursday was despicable, and I will not sit idly by while they harass our neighbors and ignore our inquiries. I teamed up with @RepMenendez and members of the NJ delegation to demand answers from ICE and DHS on the safety and wellbeing of those involved.

Waiting for Paterson City Council hearing to start @AlexM4Paterson @andresayeghNJ . @ACLUNJ strongly opposes an ordinance that would criminalize houseless New Jerseyans and sentence them to a bed in jail instead of emergency shelter

đŚNew Jersey Immigrants are Here to Stay! Right now, Congress is attempting to pave the way for Trumpâs mass deportation plans. We must put pressure on the New Jersey delegation to vote NO on the Laken Riley Act! đ˛ Call your representative TODAY!

Presidents canât overrule the Constitution and centuries of precedent with a stroke of a pen. I'm leading a coalition of 18 states in suing to stop Trump's unlawful EO banning birthright citizenship. When we say we will fight for the rule of law, we mean it.

NJ can lead on protecting the immigrants who are the fabric of our communities. Thank @NewJerseyOAG for standing up for our immigrant communities. @32BJNewJersey members are a part of what makes our state a great state.

Thank you @NewJerseyOAG for seeing what we see: that New Jersey has an opportunity to become a leader in resisting the federal anti-immigrant agenda âď¸ Standing up for âNew Jersey valuesâ means fighting back against immigrant hate. The #ImmigrantTrustAct is next.

Every week brings more terrifying details of the Trump administrationâs plans for mass deportations & family separation. Trumpâs plans will be catastrophic not just for immigrants but all NJers. @GovMurphy & the legislature must act now to pass the Immigrant Trust Act. #NJSOTS
