Evidence

The White House said border releases had been zero for 11 straight months and stated that catch-and-release was over.

This is the strongest official delivery evidence found after checking the May 30-June 1, 2026 lookback first. It supports that the policy goal was delivered in De La Cruz's later House term through executive-branch immigration enforcement, not through enacted first-term legislation.

De La Cruz's office said she voted for the Secure the Border Act and listed among its effects: "Ends catch and release."

Shows serious same-term legislative effort by De La Cruz, but only House passage of H.R. 2 in 2023, so it supports partial progress/effort rather than final delivery at that time.

Assessments

delivered later_term

Official 2026 federal evidence says catch-and-release border releases had been zero for 11 straight months and that the policy was over. De La Cruz also supported same-term House legislation aimed at ending catch and release, but final delivery appears to have occurred later through federal executive enforcement rather than enacted legislation she authored. Because the promised federal policy outcome was achieved while she remained in federal office, it counts as delivered with later-term timing.
