Assessments
Guest publicly backed DHS funding including ICE and Border Patrol, participated through the House Homeland Security Committee, and voted for enacted DHS/border-enforcement funding measures during his current House term. The promised support and the funded DHS operations were completed legislatively in the same federal term.
The promise was to support timely, regular-order DHS funding, specifically including ICE and Border Patrol, and the record shows Guest did that during his current federal term. He publicly backed funding DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol; the House then passed H.R. 7147 in January 2026; the President signed the DHS funding measure into law on April 30, 2026; and Guest was also tied to later committee statements applauding final passage of Border Patrol and ICE funding. Because this is a support-and-advance promise rather than a sole-control outcome, his public advocacy and role in the House process are sufficient for full delivery once the funding was enacted in the same term.
Guest publicly supported funding DHS on time and in regular order, specifically including ICE and Border Patrol, and the DHS appropriations/continuing funding measure H.R. 7147 passed the House and was signed into law on April 30, 2026 while he remained in federal office. The record supports both candidate effort and enacted outcome in the same term.
