Bring Maria Mesias-Tatnall, director of outreach and immigration assistance at the Delaware Department of Justice, as her guest to the State of the Union.
Occurrences
Evidence
The archived White House page is the official prepared text for President Trump’s January 30, 2018 State of the Union Address. It confirms the address occurred but does not identify Lisa Blunt Rochester’s personal guest or Maria Mesias-Tatnall.
The reference summary says the 2018 State of the Union was delivered on January 30, 2018 in the House chamber and notes that Democratic members invited DREAMers and other immigrants, but the listed notable invitations do not include Lisa Blunt Rochester or Maria Mesias-Tatnall.
Assessments
The evidence confirms the January 30, 2018 State of the Union occurred while Lisa Blunt Rochester was serving in the House, but it does not verify that Maria Mesias-Tatnall was actually brought as her guest. The available sources only establish the event context, not completion of the specific personal-guest commitment. Because this was not a legislative or executive promise, there is no separate effort credit to award.
