Morelle's office said DHS and CBP confirmed plans to construct ICE detention holding cells in the Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building, with construction expected to begin May 23 and continue for more than a year, and that officials did not intend to delay the project for public comment or local input. Morelle stated continued opposition to the decision.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Shows the project was still moving forward despite local objections, so the underlying objective had not been achieved, while Morelle was publicly continuing the fight.

Morelle's official issue page lists introducing the Respect Our Communities Act to prevent new ICE or CBP detention facilities without transparency, community input, and approval from state and local leaders. It also lists an FY2027 DHS Appropriations amendment requiring those steps before constructing new ICE or CBP detention facilities in Rochester's Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Documents concrete follow-through: legislation and an appropriations amendment directly aimed at the Rochester detention-cell plan. I found no newer lookback-window record showing the plan was reversed or fully blocked.
