Senator Andy Kim, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 3rd district since 2019, posted a series of statements on March 17, 2026, addressing recent issues affecting his constituents and broader national concerns.
In a post at 12:22 UTC, Senator Kim commented on the release of Leqaa Kordia from ICE custody. He wrote, “I am relieved that Leqaa Kordia has been released from ICE’s custody and is finally free. This should never have happened. Thank you to all in NJ who stood up for Leqaa. Because of you, she is now able to be reunited with her family.”
Later that day at 12:47 UTC, Kim criticized Senate Republicans regarding TSA funding. He stated, “If you’re waiting in a TSA line, you can thank Senate Republicans for rejecting Democrats’ proposal to fund TSA. We can support TSA workers while we hold this administration accountable. Last week, Republicans chose Trump over you.”
At 14:39 UTC the same day, he highlighted the contributions of international students in New Jersey and nationwide: “International students are valuable members of our colleges, universities, communities, and help drive the growth and innovation we see in New Jersey and around the country.”
Senator Kim was born in Boston in 1982 and resides in Moorestown. He graduated from Deep Springs College in 2002 and the University of Chicago in 2004 with a BA degree.
