We must secure our border with physical barriers to illegal entry and devote resources to enforcing current immigration law, which includes partnering with state and local law enforcement organizations.
Secure the border with physical barriers and devote resources to enforcing immigration law with state and local law enforcement.
Occurrences
Evidence
The homepage's "LATEST UPDATES" section shows March 9, 2026 as the newest posted update and lists older items from October 30, 2025, September 2, 2025, and May 22, 2025; none of the updates shown are a new border or immigration-enforcement action in the last three days.
The issue page states support for building a physical wall, increasing agents and technology, and quickly arresting and deporting criminal aliens, but the listed related items stop at April 2022 and do not show a new action in the current lookback window.
Assessments
The available evidence shows DesJarlais has publicly supported a border wall, more agents and technology, and stronger immigration-law enforcement with removals of criminal aliens. However, it does not identify a federal enactment, appropriations outcome, or executive action materially advanced by him that fulfilled the combined promise. The cited official pages show position statements and no recent delivery event, so the promise cannot be credited as delivered on this record. There is also not enough evidence of a serious failed legislative or executive attempt tied to the full promised outcome to assign an effort badge.
