Evidence

Today, Chicago Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-05) introduced an amendment to the FY26 Homeland Security Appropriations bill that would cut funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), unless major changes are made to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conduct.

Quigley took a concrete legislative step to resist Trump-era enforcement actions by trying to condition or cut DHS funding.

The Rules Committee record shows Quigley’s amendment was formally submitted, but the entry indicates it was only submitted, not adopted, which supports effort but not success.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Quigley took multiple same-term actions consistent with the promise, including cosponsoring legislation to limit Elon Musk's access to sensitive data, speaking on the House floor, calling for Trump's removal or impeachment, voting against Trump-backed legislation, condemning Trump actions, and submitting an appropriations amendment to constrain DHS enforcement conduct. However, the evidence mainly demonstrates active opposition and legislative attempts, not that he successfully used every available lever or achieved the promised resistance outcome in full. The formally submitted amendment was not shown as adopted, so the record supports substantial effort but only partial fulfillment.
