Evidence shows Liccardo took some same-term action against a proposed ICE facility near Gilroy by joining Bay Area colleagues in a federal opposition letter, and related state and county litigation sought to block the project. However, the record does not show that he led a regional campaign or championed local ordinances restricting ICE detention center development, nor that such ordinances passed due to his effort. This is therefore partial credit, not full delivery.
