Walberg promised to support passage of the DETERRENT Act, and as a federal House member he cast a yea vote on final House passage of H.R. 1048 on March 27, 2025. The bill has not become law and remained pending in the Senate after referral on March 31, 2025, so the broader statutory policy outcome was not completed. But the promise was framed as his support for passage, and he took the concrete available action in his chamber during the same term.
