Bost's office states that he voted for final passage of H.R. 1 and describes the bill as providing major border-security funding, completing the border wall, and hiring additional Border Patrol and customs officers.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official Bost evidence of concrete later-term support for the border-wall component through a successful House vote on H.R. 1. It does not show Bost delivering or materially advancing Remain in Mexico, so it supports partial rather than full delivery.

EOIR's updated MPP page gives instructions for people enrolled in Migrant Protection Protocols outside the United States and for people who waited in Mexico under the program before entering the United States.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official DOJ/EOIR evidence that MPP remained an active federal immigration-court framework in 2026. This helps confirm later-term movement on Remain in Mexico but does not establish a specific Bost role, keeping the claim at partial delivery.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. later_term

Bost materially supported the border-wall component by voting for H.R. 1, which his office described as funding completion of the border wall, and later federal evidence shows wall projects moving forward. Remain in Mexico was later reinstated and active as a federal policy, but the evidence does not show Bost wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced that executive outcome. Because one component has direct Bost credit and the other appears completed mainly by unrelated executive officials, this is partial rather than full delivery.

The cited federal actions indicate that the southern border wall effort and Remain in Mexico policy were advanced or reinstated after the relevant campaign period. However, the evidence provided attributes completion to the White House, CBP, and later federal legislation, not specifically to Mike Bost through sponsorship, authorship, or a clearly documented material role. Because the promise was to support these policies and the outcomes occurred in the federal context, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery on the candidate's own record.
