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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov1d ago(source)

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov2d ago(source)

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov3d ago(source)

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov3d ago(source)

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov3d ago(source)

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov3d ago(source)

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov3d ago(source)

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.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov3d ago(source)

Rochester cannot be silenced. Today, I introduced the Respect Our Communities (ROC) Act to stop the federal government from forcing immigration detention facilities into communities without transparency, public input, or local approval.

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE LEGISLATES AGAINST TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PLAN FOR ICE DETENTION CELLS IN ROCHESTER

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle continued the fight against the Trump administration’s decision to put immigration detention holding cells inside the Kenneth B. Keating Federal Build...

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov3d ago(source)

The fact that FBI Director Kash Patel used government dollars to go on a juvenile snorkeling expedition in Pearl Harbor is disgraceful. These are sacred waters where we honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion to this country.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov4d ago(source)

The president issued a blanket pardon to violent criminals who stormed the Capitol on January 6th, now he wants to pay them taxpayer dollars for their behavior? It's ridiculous.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov4d ago(source)

On this day in 1919, Congress passed the 19th Amendment—a milestone won by generations of women who refused to let their voices be silenced. We're carrying on that fight today as efforts like the SAVE Act and SCOTUS' Voting Rights Act ruling threaten access for millions.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov4d ago(source)

The Trump Administration wants people who have come here, worked hard, and built a life for themselves to live in fear. That's the point, and it is indefensible.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov5d ago(source)

My team and I are exploring every legal avenue available to us to stop the proposed ICE detention cells in the downtown Federal Building from opening. I won't stop fighting for our community, and communities across the country facing Donald Trump's inhumane immigration agenda.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov5d ago(source)

The recklessness of the Trump Administration is out of control. Trump chose to dismantle the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, a program that has longstanding bipartisan support as a common sense public safety program.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov5d ago(source)

Donald Trump wants to take taxpayer dollars from families who are already struggling and give them out to his friends and allies through a slush fund. It's despicable. Congressional Republicans must step in.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov5d ago(source)

Republicans are proposing cuts that undermine investments in our energy future. I’ll keep fighting for lower costs, stronger infrastructure, and programs that help families get ahead. Watch live as I fight back as Vice Ranking Member of the Appropriations Committee:

I'll be live on CNN This Morning with Audie Cornish in just a few minutes. Tune in!

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.gov6d ago(source)

The Department of Justice is now spending its time and money carrying out President Trump's cruel immigration agenda. All they are doing is creating more chaos, confusion, and dysfunction.
