Evidence
Funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is expected to be addressed through a budget reconciliation bill, known as Budget Reconciliation 2.0. The House and Senate have both passed the initial step (a budget resolution) and committees are now working to draft legislation to ensure ICE and CBP have the resources they need to protect the homeland for the remainder of President Trump’s term.
Border security remains a top priority, with President Trump implementing tougher enforcement, closing loopholes, and restoring operational control of the southern border. In 2025, illegal crossings declined as resources were redirected to enforcement, removals accelerated, and cooperation with state and local partners expanded.
Assessments
Rouzer's promise was broad: secure the border using all available technology and manpower, including military forces. The evidence shows some same-term federal border-enforcement activity and claimed improvements under the Trump administration, plus Rouzer supporting or discussing pending ICE/CBP funding through reconciliation. But the key funding measure was still in progress as of May 3, 2026, and the cited operational gains are mainly administration-wide actions rather than a completed Rouzer-authored or Rouzer-driven deliverable. This supports partial credit for aligned same-term progress and serious effort, but not full delivery of the promised outcome.
