Under the immigration issue blurb, the campaign states: "Nancy Mace will cut down on sanctuary sheriffs and ensure illegal aliens are deported for a safer SC."

This is the campaign promise itself. It establishes the claimed commitment but does not show completion.

The House Oversight Committee release says Chairwoman Nancy Mace and Rep. Glenn Grothman were investigating local law enforcement, including Charleston County Sheriff Kristin Graziano, for refusing to cooperate with ICE when illegal aliens were booked in county jails, and that they sought documents about cases of the sheriff's office refusing to turn over custody prior to release.

Mace took concrete action against a local sheriff over ICE non-cooperation, which supports effort toward the promise but does not prove the promise was fulfilled.

The campaign says Mace proposed the South Carolina Immigration Enforcement Act to impose penalties on sheriffs and jail administrators who refuse to honor federal immigration detainer requests, including removal from office, and to hold sanctuary sheriffs accountable.

This is direct evidence of a concrete policy proposal aimed at sanctuary sheriffs, showing effort but not enactment or implementation.

Nancy Mace Proposes Immigration Enforcement Act

The South Carolina Legislature records S. 735 as introduced on January 13, 2026 and still residing in the Senate. The bill would create the "Prohibition of Sanctuary Jurisdictions Act" and provide that an illegal alien detained by state or local law enforcement "must not be released into the community, but must be held" until transferred to ICE.

A state bill matching the promise was introduced, but as of the record it had not become law, so the promise is not shown as delivered.
