My heart is with Austin tonight. No family should have to endure this kind of loss. We mourn the lives taken and stand with those recovering.

I am unequivocally opposed to ICE OR CBP installing detention cells in downtown Rochester. Rochester will not be treated as a staging ground for this administration’s reckless political agenda.

My statement on President Trump’s strikes on Iran:

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 28(source)

This President has a pattern of creating and escalating combustible situations and then forcing communities to deal with the fallout. Rochester will not be treated as a staging ground for this administration’s reckless political agenda. Here's what we know so far:

Rochester's federal courthouse could double as immigrant detention center

Documents show federal officials are moving quickly, planning to award the project on Friday to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 28(source)

The Trump administration is moving forward in secret, with no notice, no public process, and no transparency. This is completely inappropriate and flat-out unacceptable.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 28(source)

We are unequivocally opposed to ICE installing detention cells in downtown Rochester, steps from a daycare and surrounded by homes and businesses.

STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON THE INHUMANE TREATMENT OF OMAR RAMOS-JIMENEZ

(Rochester, N.Y.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement in response to the denial of Omar Ramos-Jimenez’s release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody:

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 27(source)

Omar is a Rochester father, business owner, and neighbor. He deserves due process. His family deserves justice. We deserve an immigration system rooted in our constitutional values. I'm standing with Omar and his family.

Grateful to Angie Perez-Delgado of IBERO for joining me as a guest at the State of the Union. She fights every day for families facing rising costs and challenges fueled by this administration's reckless actions.

Read our statement on the latest Trump attempt to take over elections:

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 26(source)

The Constitution is clear, the President has no role in determining election law. That's up the the states, and Congress.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 26(source)

The SAVE America Act puts millions of eligible Americans at risk of losing access to the ballot, all in the the name of solving a problem that doesn't exist. We will fight this at every turn.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 26(source)

Reach out to my office by March 6th to inquire about our next Vietnam Veterans Pinning Ceremony! This is an important opportunity to honor those who served our country and were not always given the respect they deserved.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 25(source)

Join me live in just a few minutes on Bloomberg Balance of Power to discuss President Trump's threats to our elections during last night's State of the Union.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 25(source)

The so-called MEGA Act would slash voter protections and make it harder for Americans to make their voices heard. We should be expanding access to the ballot, not restricting it.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 25(source)

My statement on tonight's State of the Union:

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 25(source)

Getting struck by lightning is more common than noncitizen voting. Noncitizen voting is already illegal and should be prosecuted. #SOTU

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govFeb 25(source)

Voting by mail is safe, secure, and used by dozens of countries like Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. #SOTU
