Wittman said he voted for H.R. 7744, the Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2026, to fund DHS and argued that DHS must have resources and coordination to prevent dangerous individuals from slipping through the cracks.

This is a concrete border-enforcement vote and public statement, but it does not show that catch and release was ended; it only shows continued support for enforcement funding.

Wittman’s border-security page says he supports reinstating asylum agreements, using Migrant Protection Protocols, and ending catch and release.

This is the clearest official statement of the commitment, but it is a standing policy position rather than proof of delivery or reversal.

The House passed H.R. 4638, the BOWOW Act, and Wittman voted yea; the measure concerns deportability for people convicted of harming animals used in law enforcement.

This is another pro-enforcement vote consistent with his promise, but it is not a direct end to catch and release and does not show the promise has been fulfilled.
