The Trump Administration's immigration claims are nothing but a lie. They are not going after the “worst of the worst,” and they know it.
They're going after people who are simply trying to chase the American dream because it serves them politically.

Glad to be with the community at Cloverwood Senior Living to discuss the challenges older Americans face—from protecting Social Security and Medicare to lowering health care and prescription drug costs.
Our seniors deserve dignity, security, and support in every stage of life.
Americans work too hard for their money to see it handed out to Donald Trump's political allies. Today's ruling is a win for taxpayers and a reminder that no one is above the law.
Thanks to @DemocracyForward.org and @CommonCause.org for taking this fight to court!
Omar Ramos Jimenez has lived in Rochester for 30 years, paid his taxes, started a small business, and been active in his community.
The notion he is somehow a flight risk, which is why he's been detained, is outrageous. He just wants to be home, in Rochester, with his family.
Corruption runs rampant in the Trump Administration, and it's reprehensible.
Congress must step in, Donald Trump must be stopped.
I met with leaders from the Rochester Black Nurses Association to discuss the importance of expanding access to quality health care, supporting the next generation of nurses, and improving health outcomes across our community.
Grateful for their advocacy, leadership, and commitment to care.
She is exactly the kind of person any of us should value as a neighbor.
I am relieved a federal judge ordered ICE to return her to New York, where our community can continue to advocate for her.
For more than 20 years, Dolores Bustamante has been part of the community—raising a family, working hard, and building a life here.
Our immigration system is broken if someone who has contributed so much has to live in fear of being torn away from it.
My statement after visiting the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility in Batavia today:
Their leadership makes our region stronger, and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to recognize them.

As we near the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, I was grateful for the opportunity to honor five leaders in our local Jewish community who go above and beyond.
Their dedication to serving others and improving the lives of everyone who calls Rochester home is inspiring.
Interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy?
Join Senator Gillibrand and me for an information night tomorrow night in Rochester to learn more about the admissions and congressional nomination process.
Students and families are encouraged to attend.
Today, we honor the Americans who gave what President Lincoln called “the last full measure of devotion” in defense of our nation & democracy.
Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy. May we remember them with a commitment to the values they fought to protect.
Rochester did not ask for these detention cells. We have shared our concerns and demanded transparency from the Trump Administration. We have been summarily ignored.
They picked the wrong community for that. We will fight back.
The people of Rochester understand that the Trump Administration is only working to bring fear into the lives of everyday citizens in our country.
We see the pattern, and we won't stand for it.
Instead, House Republicans added radical, divisive, and partisan amendments. We'll keep fighting for the original bipartisan bill that ensures women’s stories are told fully, truthfully, and on the National Mall.
The Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum is long overdue, and it deserves a place on the National Mall. We had a bipartisan bill that would have ensured women’s history is properly told.
I led the defeat of Republicans’ partisan bill that would have handed Donald Trump unprecedented control over the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum.
Women’s history belongs to the American people—not Donald Trump and his loyal followers.
Donald Trump likes to talk about public safety, but there's nothing safe about making an entire community terrified of its own government and dropping detention cells into a downtown building our community uses to access public services every day.
The Trump administration tried to push this project into downtown Rochester without listening to the people who live and work here. That’s wrong.
My legislation ensures communities have a seat at the table before these decisions move forward.
