On February 17, 2026, Norcross invited constituents to participate in an educational session regarding civil liberties and immigration enforcement.

The following day, February 18, 2026, Norcross acknowledged Ramadan with a message directed toward South Jersey residents observing the holiday. He stated, “Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing in South Jersey. May this month be filled with reflection, prayer, compassion, and peace for you and your loved ones. https://t.co/vkMTtUCqTT”.
Later that same day, he also marked Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent with another post: “Today, families across South Jersey are observing Ash Wednesday and beginning the season of Lent. Wishing all who observe a meaningful season of reflection, service, and renewal. https://t.co/fDCzzGXReH”.
