REPORT: Radical Democrat Nellie Pou Has a Years-Long Record of Fighting Immigration Enforcement
Why has radical Democrat Nellie Pou stayed silent as rioting and violence engulf Delaney Hall? Look no further than her years-long record of opposing border security and immigration enforcement.
As a State Senator, Nellie voted to make it more difficult for New Jersey to rightfully detain illegal immigrants, and in Congress, she’s voted against billions in funding for border security and commonsense measures to get dangerous illegal immigrants off the streets.
Nellie won’t condemn the violence at Delaney Hall because she laid the groundwork for it.

Democratic Representative Nellie Pou seems determined to prove she cares more about illegal immigrants than the New Jersey citizens she represents, and Americans more broadly, having spent nearly her entire political career, dating back to her time in the state Senate, fighting against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Before being elected to Congress in 2024, Pou served in the New Jersey State Senate, where she built a record of opposing cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. In 2021, she helped pass legislation barring state and local law enforcement agencies from entering into, renewing, or extending agreements with federal immigration authorities aimed at detaining individuals for immigration violations.

Her anti-ICE crusade continued after she was elected to Congress. She voted against legislation that would allocate $70 billion to ICE and Customs and Border Protection, voted twice against Republicans’ Working Families Tax Cut, and twice opposed the Laken Riley Act. She has also consistently voted against Republican-backed immigration and border security measures aimed at protecting all Americans from criminal illegal aliens.
“Radical, law enforcement-hating Democrat Nellie Pou has spent years undermining law enforcement and prioritizing dangerous criminals while leaving New Jerseyans out to dry,” NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said in a statement. “It’s irresponsible, wrong, and voters deserve better.”
