Evidence

Mackenzie voted Yes on H.R. 29, the Laken Riley Act. The House page says the bill requires DHS to detain certain non-U.S. nationals who are unlawfully present and have been arrested for, convicted of, or admitted to burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting, and it authorizes states to sue over failures related to immigration enforcement.

This is the clearest official evidence that Mackenzie backed a later-term measure targeting criminal noncitizens, but it is detention-focused and does not by itself prove a deportation mandate.

Mackenzie said the House-passed budget would 'secure the border once and for all' and that it 'invests $150 billion to complete border barriers, hire more Border Patrol and ICE agents, expand deportation capacity, and stop deadly fentanyl and human trafficking at the southern border.'

This shows Mackenzie supported later-term federal action to expand deportation capacity and immigration enforcement, but it still falls short of an explicit requirement that every illegal immigrant who commits another crime be deported.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Mackenzie supported federal immigration-enforcement measures after taking office, including voting for the Laken Riley Act and backing budget provisions to expand deportation capacity. These actions materially align with tougher consequences for some unlawfully present noncitizens accused or convicted of crimes, but the cited measures do not establish the promised broad requirement that illegal immigrants who commit other crimes be deported. Because he advanced related policy during his current federal term but the specific deportation mandate is not shown as delivered, partial credit is appropriate.
