I’m reintroducing my resolution to designate March 3 as National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Day. This fight is personal. I'm committed to advancing research, expanding access to care, and ensuring no family faces this diagnosis alone.

Chag Purim Sameach to all who are celebrating Purim in Rochester and across our country. May this joyful holiday bring hope, unity, and the reminder that courage and faith can overcome even the darkest moments.

Nearly 70 million American women would be negatively impacted by the SAVE America Act.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 2(source)

This Women’s History Month, we honor the trailblazers who fought for equality and the women leading our communities forward today. From Rochester to Washington, women have shaped every chapter of our democracy.

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 1(source)

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.

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

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.
