Support deploying the military to the southern border.

Evidence
"Now, I’m fighting alongside President Trump to deploy our military to the border, label Mexican Drug Cartels as Terrorists, and support Tom Homan in his efforts to deport Biden’s illegal immigrants."
The proclamation states that "it is necessary for the Armed Forces to take all appropriate action to assist the Department of Homeland Security" and directs the Secretary of Defense to order Armed Forces and National Guard units to support activities at the southern border.
The memorandum says the military "take a more direct role in securing our southern border" and gives additional guidance to the Secretary of Defense and other agencies for border operations.
GovInfo shows H.R. 7105 introduced by Rep. Hunt and referred to the House Judiciary Committee on January 15, 2026; the bill would authorize the President to proclaim an invasion at the southern border and prevent immigration relief during that declared invasion.
Assessments
The promise was framed as supporting military deployment to the southern border, not personally enacting it. During the same term, the executive branch formally directed Armed Forces and National Guard support at the southern border, and Hunt publicly aligned himself with that policy while introducing related border-security legislation. Because the promised policy outcome occurred and Hunt supported it, this is best classified as delivered, though the main deployment authority came through executive action rather than Hunt's bill.
