Strengthen border security and increase investment in Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Evidence
In the Immigration section, the campaign site says Nicole Malliotakis 'strongly supports strengthening our border security to stem the tide of illegal immigration, as well as increased investment in U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement.'
The press release says the House passed H.R. 7744, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2026, and that it 'bolsters border protections by providing $513 million to sustain 22,000 Border Patrol agents and $3.8 billion for custody operations' to detain and deport criminal and removable aliens.
The Clerk's roll call page shows Malliotakis's recent vote on H.R. 7744, Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026, as 'Yea' and the measure status as 'Passed'.
Assessments
Malliotakis made legislative efforts consistent with the promise, including voting for House-passed DHS appropriations that would fund Border Patrol staffing and immigration enforcement custody operations. However, the evidence does not show that the promised outcome was actually enacted or implemented as final increased investment in CBP and ICE or a completed strengthening of border security. A House vote and press advocacy are serious efforts, but they fall short of delivery.
