Occurrences
Evidence
Foreign policy section says, 'In Congress, I will support all measures that destroys ISIS.' The page also says ISIS 'must be hunted, identified, and killed.'
GovInfo shows Higgins introduced H.R. 4564 to require a threat assessment on current foreign terrorist fighter activities, including Iraq and Syria.
Congress.gov lists Rep. Higgins as sponsor; the bill's status became 'Passed House' after introduction.
Higgins said the legislation was 'about ensuring that we have the best possible data to defeat this threat' and described foreign fighters tied to ISIS-occupied territories.
Assessments
Higgins made a concrete same-term congressional effort consistent with the pledge by sponsoring H.R. 4564, the Post-Caliphate Threat Assessment Act, aimed at assessing and combating ISIS-linked foreign terrorist fighter activity, and the bill passed the House. However, the promise was extremely broad, pledging support for all measures that would destroy ISIS, and the evidence shows targeted legislative activity rather than full delivery of the promised outcome or enactment of a comprehensive anti-ISIS program attributable to him. This warrants partial credit with an effort badge.
Higgins made concrete same-term legislative efforts aligned with the promise, including sponsoring H.R. 4564, the Post-Caliphate Threat Assessment Act of 2017, which targeted ISIS-linked foreign terrorist fighter activity and passed the House. However, the promise was extremely broad, pledging support for all measures that destroy ISIS, and the evidence does not establish that the promised outcome was fully delivered or that ISIS was destroyed as a result. This supports partial fulfillment with a clear effort badge.
