HONORING MICHAEL HOOSOCK

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 82 (Thursday, May 15, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 82 (Thursday, May 15, 2025)] [House] [Page H2084] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING MICHAEL HOOSOCK (Mr. MANNION asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mr. MANNION. Mr. Speaker, I rise today during National Police Week to honor the brave men and women who put their lives on the line each day to keep us safe. I rise to honor Lieutenant Michael Hoosock of the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office and Syracuse Police Officer Michael Jensen, who were ambushed and killed on a quiet street in Salina, New York, just 13 months ago. I also honor Oswego County Sheriff's Deputy Cailee Campbell, who was killed in a motor vehicle accident in my old State senate district last fall. Their names now join others from central New York and the Mohawk Valley like Syracuse Officer Wallie Howard on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. I note briefly that Officer Howard's killer was shamefully released from prison by President Trump at the end of his first term. The Syracuse community, the police department, Officer Howard's family, and the prosecutors who brought this case for justice were all shocked at the decision to release this convicted murderer. Syracuse and New York-22 will never forget the sacrifices of these men and women regardless of how long their names are up on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and will always support law enforcement and their families. I thank Lieutenant Hoosock, Officer Jensen, and Deputy Campbell for their commitment to their community. I rise today to honor their service and to offer my support and condolences to their families and friends. We stand with them, and we grieve with them. ____________________
