Morelle's ROC Act: Fighting Back Against Secret ICE Detention

Congressman Joe Morelle introduces the Respect Our Communities Act (ROC Act) to halt the federal plan to place ICE detention cells in Rochesters Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building without local buy-in. The bill mandates transparency, public input, and local approval for federal agencies like Homeland Security before establishing new detention facilities. Senator Chuck Schumer supports the bill, emphasizing the importance of community voices in such decisions. With construction set to begin later this month, the ROC Act aims to ensure communities have a say in federal projects that directly impact them.
