Dear Friend,

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about my recent visit to Secaucus Junction, where I joined Governor Mikie Sherrill to speak out against the suspension of the Gateway Tunnel Project.

The Gateway Tunnel is vital to maintaining reliable rail service between New Jersey and New York and to supporting thousands of construction and skilled labor jobs across our region.

Dear Friend,

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about my recent visit to Hawthorne to present $1,092,000 in federal funding for Hawthorne’s aging sewer system.

Dear Friend,

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about my hearing this week where I confronted the heads of immigration enforcement in the Trump administration. 

For the first time, the leaders of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services appeared before the House Homeland Security Committee. I used the opportunity to demand answers about enforcement practices that have raised alarms here in North Jersey and across the country.

Dear Friend,

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou. Earlier today, I stood alongside construction workers, labor leaders, and state and local officials to speak about the Trump administration’s policy decision to halt federal funding for the Gateway Project.

We gathered for a simple reason: to highlight the very real harm this funding hold threatens to impose on working families and on our region’s future.

Dear Friend: 

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to share some positive news for Passaic County residents.

Dear Friend: 

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to share some positive news for Bergen residents.

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to explain why I am calling for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be immediately removed from office.

As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, I have sought to ensure that DHS is performing its intended mission to protect our nation. But under Kristi Noem's policies, the department has prioritized partisan interests over public safety while retaliating against states like New Jersey and terrorizing American cities – a betrayal of its founding purpose. 

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to update you why I voted yesterday against funding the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

I voted no because the bill provides no new guardrails against ICE’s current enforcement and fails to guarantee due process rights and the safety and security of American citizens who continue to be harassed, detained, assaulted, and even killed by masked DHS agents.
