Vote Question: On Passage ... Title/Description: Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act ... Gosar Republican Arizona AZ Aye
"Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement in response to sending a formal letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeking answers regarding reports that a warehouse facility in Surprise, Arizona may be converted into a large-scale federal immigration detention center."
Assessments
This promise was framed as a commitment to keep working on border security and opposing Biden immigration policies, not as a guarantee that Gosar alone would secure the border or change federal policy. The record shows he did continue those efforts through legislative and oversight actions: he backed House border-security legislation, introduced additional immigration-restriction bills in 2025, and sent a DHS oversight letter in 2026. Because the clearest dated evidence of continued action falls after the 2021-2023 term associated with the 2020 election, the best timing classification is later_term.
