Evidence

The House of Representatives passed the Kayla Hamilton Act, which Fry said would close dangerous gaps in the federal government's handling of unaccompanied alien children and require HHS to collect and share sponsor background information, including immigration status, with DHS.

Fry advanced immigration-law tightening legislation through the House, but this was not final enactment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Fry materially advanced legislation aimed at strengthening federal immigration-related requirements: the Kayla Hamilton Act passed the House during his federal term and was received in the Senate on December 17, 2025. However, the evidence does not show enactment into federal law, so the promised outcome was not fully delivered. Because there was a serious legislative attempt with House passage but no final enactment, this merits partial credit with an effort badge.
