Roy listed as unfinished work: “Fix the isolation of CBP and ICE Funding (with Reconciliation 2 funding, we leave these two isolated from appropriations, which is a long-term mistake).”
Assessments
CBP and ICE received substantial multi-year FY2026 funding in Public Law 119-98 during Roy's current federal term, so the funding-protection objective was partly achieved. But the promise specifically tied protection to appropriations reforms, and Roy's July 2026 statement described fixing the isolation of CBP and ICE funding from appropriations as unfinished work. That means the appropriations-reform outcome was not fully delivered, though Roy showed continued effort on the issue.
