GovInfo lists H.R. 5005 as introduced by Mr. Roy and referred to House committees; the bill would create a sanctuary-jurisdiction database and bar federal funds to listed jurisdictions.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Roy took concrete legislative action directly aligned with defunding sanctuary jurisdictions, but the official record shows introduction and committee referral rather than enactment.

The executive order directs agencies to identify federal funds for possible suspension or termination for sanctuary jurisdictions and directs DOJ/DHS to pursue enforcement measures.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The Trump administration partially advanced the policy goal through executive action, but this does not prove Roy delivered the full legislative commitment or enacted stronger statutory penalties.

Roy directly advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 5005 in the 119th Congress to identify sanctuary jurisdictions and bar federal funding to them, but the bill has only been introduced and referred to committee, not enacted. The Trump administration also issued a same-term executive order directing agencies to identify funds for possible suspension or termination and pursue enforcement measures against sanctuary jurisdictions, which partially advances the defunding/enforcement goal. However, there is no evidence that Roy secured enacted statutory defunding or stronger federal immigration penalties, so this is not full delivery.
