Evidence

The law's table of contents includes "Subtitle D--Pell Grants" and "SEC. 83002. Workforce Pell Grants," while SEC. 83001 adds Pell ineligibility for some students with high Student Aid Index values.

Federal law enacted during Omar's later congressional service did expand Pell into workforce training, but it also tightened eligibility and did not achieve the promise of covering all college expenses.

Omar said, "I will be introducing a bill to redirect ICE's slush fund" and urged colleagues to oppose the reconciliation bill.

This is a recent, concrete floor action in Omar's later-term service, but it does not show any Pell-specific expansion or completion of the pledge.

Assessments

partial later_term

Federal law enacted during Omar's later House service did expand Pell Grants in a limited way, including Workforce Pell, so the promise saw some policy movement. But the available evidence does not show Pell Grants were expanded enough to cover all college expenses, and the same law also added some Pell eligibility restrictions. The record here also does not show Omar specifically wrote, sponsored, or materially drove the enacted Pell changes, so this supports only partial credit rather than full delivery.
