Voted nay on H.R. 7744 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026) on 2026-03-05: Norcross voted against the Republican DHS funding bill, citing Trump and ICE 'abusing their power.' This aligned with his district's significant immigrant and minority communities but departed from the tougher immigration votes he has occasionally taken (e.g., Laken Riley Act). The vote illustrates Norcross's navigation between progressive constituent interests and the occasional cross-party immigration stance.

Voted yea on H.Con.Res.38 (Directing the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in Iran) on 2026-03-05: Norcross joined Republicans in voting to direct the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities in Iran. The measure failed 212-219, but Norcross's support placed him at odds with Democratic leadership on war powers. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee and a strong supporter of Israel (which views Iran as an existential threat), this vote created cross-pressure between his pro-Israel donor alignment and anti-war sentiment.

Voted yea on H.R. 6090 (Antisemitism Awareness Act) on 2024-05-01: Norcross co-sponsored and voted for legislation that codifies a controversial definition of antisemitism — including criticism of Israel — into federal anti-discrimination law. Civil liberties groups warned the bill threatens First Amendment-protected speech on college campuses. The vote is donor-aligned: AIPAC strongly backed the bill, and Norcross has received approximately $200,000 from pro-Israel groups.

Voted yea on H.R. 7217 (Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-02-06: Norcross was one of only 46 House Democrats to vote for a standalone $17.6 billion Israel aid package that lacked humanitarian aid for Gaza or funding for Ukraine. AIPAC has donated approximately $200,000 to Norcross. Democratic leadership and most NJ Democrats opposed the bill, while Norcross bucked his party. The vote placed him among the most pro-Israel Democrats in the House, directly aligning with his top donor's priorities.

Voted yea on H.R. 29 (Laken Riley Act) on 2025-01-07: Norcross joined 47 other Democrats and all Republicans to pass this immigration enforcement bill mandating detention of undocumented immigrants charged with certain crimes. The vote defected from the overwhelming majority of the Democratic caucus (only 48 of ~215 Democrats voted yea). NJ-01 includes substantial immigrant communities and the city of Camden, making this a notable cross-pressure vote: constituent interests in immigrant protections vs. a tougher-on-immigration posture.
