I will fight to secure the border, not ignore it.
I will fight to secure the border.
Occurrences
In Congress, Ciscomani will fight to secure our border, support our agents and finish the wall.
Evidence
The campaign’s first district-wide ad was titled “Border Security” and said Ciscomani would “fight to secure our border, support our agents and finish the wall.”
Ciscomani introduced H.R. 35, a border-related bill imposing criminal and immigration penalties for intentionally fleeing a pursuing federal officer within 100 miles of the border.
The House passed H.R. 35 on Feb. 13, 2025, by 264-155, showing Ciscomani’s border bill advanced through one chamber.
Ciscomani said he was “working with President Trump to secure the border” among the top accomplishments and priorities of his office.
Assessments
Ciscomani made border security a central 2022 federal House campaign promise and, once in Congress, materially pursued that issue by introducing H.R. 35, the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act. The bill passed the House in February 2025, showing a serious legislative effort within his congressional service tied to the campaign promise. However, the evidence does not show the broader promised outcome of securing the border was achieved, nor that his legislation became law. Because the promise was phrased as a broad fight rather than a specific completed policy, this supports partial fulfillment with an effort badge rather than full delivery.
