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.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09) today called on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to explain why ICE agents are systemically manipulating and hiding vehicle license plates to mask their work and identities.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09) and Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY-11) have introduced the bipartisan Coordinated Leadership for Environmental and Aquatic Needs–Unified Planning Act (CLEAN-UP), legislation that would expedite the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) ability to remediate contaminated sediments for water projects by granting indemnification waivers to USACE when following an EPA-approved remediation plan.

Dear Friend:
This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to share some positive news for Bergen residents.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09), a member of the House Subcommittee on Water Resources, today announced Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awards totaling $16,654,166.68 that will go to Passaic County, Bergen County, and Passaic City for flood control efforts.
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.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Nellie Pou (D-NJ-09), a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, today called on Donald Trump to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and joined calls to impeach the disgraced cabinet secretary.
“I call on President Trump to fire Secretary Noem immediately. If he does not act, the House must begin impeachment proceedings without delay.”
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.
