Cole wrote on May 12, 2026 that "By improving coordination and strengthening the partnership between the United States Marshal Service and Tribal law enforcement, my bill will make Native American communities safer and ultimately bring more criminals to justice."

Within the lookback window, Cole was still publicly promoting the tribal-law-enforcement/U.S. Marshals coordination measure, which shows the commitment remained active but not yet completed.

Congress.gov’s bill text for the Tribal Warrant Fairness Act states the bill is introduced and would allow the Marshals Service to assist in certain Tribal criminal matters.

The underlying policy effort was formally introduced, but the official record available here does not show enactment, so the commitment appears only partially delivered at best.

Congress.gov shows S.3041 was introduced in the Senate on 2025-10-23, read twice, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary; the bill page still lists the measure as having status Introduced with no enactment shown.

The underlying measure tied to Cole's promise exists, but the official record still shows only introduction and referral, not enactment or implemented coordination changes.

Cole's House Tribal Relations page lists his most recent tribal-related activity as attending the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies' American Indian and Alaska Native public witness hearings on 2026-03-18, with an earlier 2026-03-04 item on legislation considered in committee; it shows continued advocacy but no completed U.S. Marshals coordination outcome.

Official House content shows Cole continued working on tribal issues in the same Congress, but it does not show the promised law-enforcement coordination goal being fully delivered.
