Local lawmakers respond to plan to put Border Patrol Detention Center in Rochester ...Middle East

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Local lawmakers have issued a statement in response to a plan to put a Border Patrol Detention Center at the Rochester Federal Building.

In the statement, Schumer said the following:

“It is outrageous and absurd for Border Patrol to secretly try to build a detention center in the heart of downtown Rochester. The Keating Federal Building is home to a daycare, the federal courthouse, and vital services Rochester families use every day. It is the wrong place for that kind of operation. We need immediate answers on what exactly DHS and Border Patrol are planning, and an opportunity for public review and input. The Federal Western District of New York Court opposes this plan, and for good reason. The public deserves transparency and the ability to make their voices heard. This shows you exactly why DHS must be reined in.” 

Rep. Joe Morelle also issued a statement:

“We are unequivocally opposed to ICE installing detention cells in downtown Rochester, steps from a daycare and surrounded by homes and businesses.

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. 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.”
