I support border security policies such as reinstating the cooperative asylum agreements with the Northern Triangle countries
Reinstate the cooperative asylum agreements with the Northern Triangle countries.
Occurrences
Evidence
Wittman’s border security page still says, "I support border security policies such as reinstating the cooperative asylum agreements with the Northern Triangle countries" and invites readers to get the latest information about his work on border security and immigration issues.
The bill text is titled the "Northern Triangle Asylum Cooperative Agreement Reimplementation Act," showing a concrete legislative attempt to restore the agreements, but the source is only introduced bill text and does not show enactment.
Wittman's current border-security issue page says he supports 'reinstating the cooperative asylum agreements with the Northern Triangle countries,' showing the promise is still being restated but not proving that the agreements were actually restored.
The bill text proposes reimplementing asylum cooperative agreements for El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, but the document only shows introduction and referral, not enactment.
Assessments
The promise was not fulfilled. Wittman’s official House page shows he continues to support reinstating the Northern Triangle cooperative asylum agreements, but that is only a policy position, not evidence of restoration. The cited bill text for the Northern Triangle Asylum Cooperative Agreement Reimplementation Act confirms the original agreements had been terminated in 2021 and shows only an introduced 2024 bill, not enactment or reinstatement. The bill text also indicates that measure was introduced by other members, so it does not establish that Wittman himself materially delivered or advanced the outcome. With no evidence that the agreements were actually reinstated, and little candidate-specific contribution beyond public support, this rates as not delivered rather than partial or later-term delivery.
The promised policy was to reinstate cooperative asylum agreements with the Northern Triangle countries. The 2024 House bill cited in the evidence was only introduced and did not pass, and Wittman was not the sponsor or one of its listed cosponsors. Later federal executive actions in 2025 appear to have revived ACA-style arrangements with at least Guatemala and Honduras, but the record is less clear that a formal Northern Triangle-wide reinstatement covering El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras was fully completed. Because the outcome was at least partly achieved by the federal administration while Wittman remained in office, but with limited evidence of Wittman's direct material role and incomplete evidence for all three countries, partial credit is more appropriate than full delivery.
