GovInfo lists H.R. 10222 as Introduced in House, with last action on September 2, 2026: introduced by Mr. Downing for himself and cosponsors including Mr. Sessions, then referred to the Committee on Financial Services. The full title is to establish that sanctuary jurisdictions are not eligible for HUD grant funds for use in such jurisdiction.

The introduced bill text states: "A sanctuary jurisdiction shall be ineligible for any grant funds distributed by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for use in such jurisdiction." It also states the bill was introduced on September 2, 2026 by Mr. Downing with Mr. Sessions among listed cosponsors and referred to the Committee on Financial Services.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill text confirms the proposal would implement the promised HUD funding restriction, but the source is an introduced bill rather than enacted law, leaving the commitment unresolved as of the refresh.

Sessions is listed as an original cosponsor of H.R. 10222, a federal bill whose operative text directly matches the promise by making sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for HUD grant funds. However, as of the available record, the bill has only been introduced and referred to the House Financial Services Committee; it has not passed Congress or become law. That is meaningful legislative effort but not delivery of the promised funding restriction.
