Continue working in Congress to protect law enforcement officers and reduce the criminal threats they face.
Occurrences
Evidence
Fischbach said the HALT Fentanyl Act would give law enforcement and CBP tools needed to keep illegal and deadly fentanyl off the street, and that without permanent scheduling law enforcement could not efficiently carry out their duties.
Congress.gov shows S.5 became Public Law No. 119-1 on January 29, 2025. The enacted law requires DHS to take into custody certain aliens charged with theft and was passed by the House and Senate before being signed by the President.
Fischbach said she was pleased the President signed the Laken Riley Act into law and described it as a commonsense bill that protects communities from dangerous criminals.
Congress.gov says Fischbach introduced H.R.3436 to authorize a Law Enforcement Education Grant Program to encourage students to pursue a career in law enforcement; the bill was referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
The office said the Law Enforcement Education Grant Program Act addresses staffing shortages and recruitment difficulties in law enforcement by offering students pursuing a law enforcement degree an opportunity to compete for federal grants.
Fischbach's official biography says she stands up for issues that matter most to her district like agriculture, 2nd Amendment rights, respect for law and order, and defending the unborn.
Assessments
Fischbach continued congressional activity aligned with the promise, including introducing H.R.3436 to support law enforcement recruitment and publicly backing measures such as the HALT Fentanyl Act and Laken Riley Act that she framed as giving law enforcement tools and reducing criminal threats. Some related legislation became law during the same term, but the evidence does not show a comprehensive delivered outcome specifically protecting law enforcement officers from the threats they face, and her own law-enforcement education bill stalled after referral. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
