Evidence

Rep. Janelle Bynum said she introduced 13 Farm Bill amendments, including one that would make it illegal for the federal government to require disclosure of personal information for immigration enforcement in order to receive USDA funding, and another that would limit use of USDA programs or data for immigration enforcement.

Direct legislative action to block the targeted USDA immigration-enforcement data demands was introduced, but this source only shows proposal stage, not enactment.

The Rules Committee record for H.R. 7567 lists Bynum amendment #80 as prohibiting the use of USDA programs or data collection for immigration enforcement, and amendment #86 as prohibiting conditioning state and local access to USDA program funding on disclosure of personal information for immigration enforcement purposes. Both are marked "Submitted."

The amendments were formally submitted for consideration in the same legislative term, but the page does not show adoption or final blocking of the USDA data demands.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Bynum introduced and submitted Farm Bill amendments aimed at prohibiting USDA programs or data collection from being used for immigration enforcement and barring USDA funding access from being conditioned on disclosure of personal information for immigration enforcement. However, the evidence only shows proposal/submission, not adoption, enactment, or an actual block on federal data demands. Because she made a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is scored as never with effort credit.
