CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE REFUSES TO FUND ICE, CBP

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement on his vote against funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which gives a blank check to out of control agen...

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

I voted NO on blank checks for ICE and CBP. Until these agencies meet basic standards: requiring judicial warrants, respecting civil rights, and operating with full transparency, Congress should not be extending their funding.

Donald Trump said voting is a privilege. I take enormous issue with that. Voting is an inalienable right and people shouldn't have to go through all kinds of hoops to demonstrate they're eligible to vote.

Trump's ill-conceived military action has neither the support of Congress nor the support of American families. It has no clear objectives, shifting goals, and has alienated our allies and made us less safe. Heather Cox Richardson writes about this and more:

The SAVE America Act would give your private voter information to the Department of Homeland Security. It's wrong.

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

We have a compromise which would fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA, but Speaker Johnson just rejected it on national TV. I didn't think anyone could sound as deranged as Donald Trump, but this comes close.

One of the most important functions of our office is to help constituents navigate federal agencies and access the services they deserve. I'm proud of the work we've done to assist so many people throughout our community. Read some of their stories here:

Donald Trump has spent over $25 billion on unauthorized military action in Iran. Now he's lifted sanctions on Iranian oil, which will net the Iranian government $14 billion. You can't make that make sense.

Donald Trump likes to announce things that don't exist, and thinks he can bend forces to his will, which he clearly cannot do. The American people deserve honesty and transparency. They deserve better.

Today is Equal Pay Day. The wage gap we're highlighting today isn't just lost income. It's also missed opportunities and economic inequality for women and families across our country. Equal work deserves equal pay. It’s time to close the gap.

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

Donald Trump is making life harder for families. The American people know it. He knows it. And that's why he's trying to silence voters.

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

Republicans are in on the scheme. They know the SAVE America Act will make it harder for women to vote. They just don't care.

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

Mr. Speaker, it's clear you only cry fraud when states don't vote in your favor...I think the American people can see what's going on. #TrumpVotesbyMail

I'm reading 1984, and George Orwell would be shocked and dismayed this kind of doublespeak actually exists. #TrumpVotesbyMail
