Evidence

GovInfo lists H.R. 10222 as an introduced House bill, with Ben Cline among the cosponsors, and the last action as referral to the House Financial Services Committee on September 2, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Cline took concrete legislative action in the current House term by cosponsoring a bill matching the commitment, but the official status is only introduction/referral, not enactment.

The court order says HUD immigration-related conditions for Continuum of Care and CDBG grants were enjoined, and HUD could not deny CDBG funding to plaintiffs based on the challenged condition.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A prior executive/HUD effort to condition HUD grants for sanctuary jurisdictions was blocked in federal court, so it does not show full delivery of the commitment.

Ben Cline cosponsored H.R. 10222, the No HUD Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act, in the 119th Congress. The bill directly matches the promise, but as of September 8, 2026 it had only been introduced and referred to the House Financial Services Committee, with no enactment or implemented funding restriction. A separate HUD/executive effort was enjoined in federal court and therefore did not deliver the promised outcome. This supports credit for a serious same-term legislative attempt, but not fulfillment.
