This is outrageous. In Rochester, we believe in hard work, treating people fairly, and looking out for our neighbors. We don’t tear families apart or punish people for seeking a better life. German deserves due process, his family deserves answers, and I’m calling for his release.

German Machado is a hardworking SUNY Brockport employee who came to America seeking safety. He has a valid work permit, has built a life here, and has spent nearly 10 years waiting for his asylum case to be heard. Yet Trump’s ICE agents took him into custody outside his home.

Donald Trump’s policies have made life harder for hardworking American families. Reckless tariffs and an unauthorized war in Iran have driven up costs and uncertainty when families need affordability and stability more than anything.

President Trump promised to bring down the cost of living. Instead, his affordability crisis has cost American families over $4,200 more in everyday essentials since Trump took office, according to @jecdems.bsky.social data. The American people deserve better.

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.
