In a post at 15:53 UTC, Menendez wrote: “Team Menendez is on the move!

Shortly after, at 16:05 UTC, he addressed concerns regarding potential changes in immigration enforcement in Roxbury: “We’ve seen reports that DHS is considering turning an industrial warehouse in Roxbury into an ICE immigration detention center.
This runs counter to what our residents want which is why I led our New Jersey Dem Delegation in taking immediate action. https://t.co/0UGAAnnahZ“
Later that day at 17:33 UTC, Menendez announced new legislative activity alongside Rep. Casar: “.@RepCasar and I introduced legislation to make sure the interests and wellbeing of our constituents are put ahead of the corporations who are building new data centers across the country.
