Assessments
The verified commitment was to continue supporting Section 287(g) programs that provide ICE training to local police. Womack's verified official House page in 2026 repeats that he will continue to support Section 287(g), and ICE's verified passage confirms the program provides ICE resources and training to law enforcement. Because the evidence shows his own continued official support after the 2016 term, the promise is delivered with later-term timing.
The promise was to continue supporting Section 287(g) programs, not necessarily to enact a new law or single measurable expansion. Womack remained in the same federal House office after the 2016 campaign, and his official House immigration issue page states continued support for Section 287(g)-type ICE training programs. ICE's description confirms the program matches the promised policy. The available evidence establishes continued public office support during a later term, though it does not show a distinct same-term legislative enactment or vote tied to the promise.
