When I get to Congress I will work with President Trump to finish the border wall and empower law enforcement with the authority necessary to send illegal immigrants back.
Will work with President Trump to finish the border wall and empower law enforcement to remove illegal immigrants.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congressman Riley M. Moore introduced the DEPORT Act, legislation that would strengthen the federal government’s ability to revoke citizenship and deport naturalized individuals who commit or support acts of terrorism against the United States. The release says the bill would require DHS to remove those offenders once their naturalized status is rescinded.
Moore said the House passage of the final FY26 appropriations bills 'achieves real reforms' and advances 'America First priorities, including strengthening national security, securing the border.'
Trump signed a nearly $70 billion immigration enforcement package into law, including $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for Border Patrol, with funding through September 2029.
DHS waived environmental and historic-preservation laws to let CBP build border-security infrastructure in Big Bend, backed by a $46.5 billion border-wall appropriation.
Moore's office says he voted for the Secure America Act, describing it as funding border security, immigration enforcement, Border Patrol tools and technology, and anti-illegal-immigration efforts.
The White House says the Secure America Act fully funds ICE and Border Patrol through Trump's term and provides resources for border security, anti-trafficking, cartel enforcement, and immigration-law enforcement.
Moore's press-release index says he praised House Appropriations Committee passage of the FY2027 Homeland Security Appropriations Act, including $64.9 billion for DHS to strengthen borders and support Trump's America First priorities.
AP reports CBP is building about six miles of wall per week, had added 74 miles by mid-June 2026, and still aims to build hundreds more miles, with some terrain covered by sensors instead of wall.
AP reports ICE arrested 10,000 people over five days in late June 2026 and quotes DHS saying it is pursuing arrests and deportations under Trump's immigration agenda.
Assessments
Moore took same-term federal actions aligned with the promise, including voting for major border-security and immigration-enforcement funding and introducing enforcement-related legislation. The Trump administration also advanced enforcement and wall construction during his term. However, the evidence shows the border wall was still under construction and incomplete as of July 2026, and much of the removal activity was executive-branch action rather than Moore personally delivering the full outcome. This supports partial fulfillment, not full delivery.
Moore has taken same-term steps consistent with the promise, including introducing deportation-focused legislation and backing border-security and immigration-enforcement funding. Those actions show meaningful effort to work with the Trump administration on removals and border enforcement. But the evidence does not show that the border wall was finished, and it also does not show Moore personally delivered a completed policy outcome that broadly empowered law enforcement to remove illegal immigrants beyond partial legislative support. Because one major half of the promise remains unmet and the other is only partly advanced, the best judgment is partial rather than delivered.
The promise has two concrete outcomes: finishing the border wall and empowering law enforcement to remove illegal immigrants. The evidence shows Moore took same-term federal legislative and appropriations-related actions aligned with immigration enforcement and border security, including introducing the DEPORT Act and supporting FY26 appropriations language framed as securing the border. However, the evidence does not show that the border wall was finished, that Moore materially caused completion of that outcome, or that the promised removal powers were enacted and implemented. This supports partial credit for effort and policy alignment, not full delivery.
