On April 22, 2026, Torres said she introduced an amendment to the FY27 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill to block the federal government from hiring or paying individuals pardoned for January 6-related conduct.

Concrete action was taken to advance the pledge, but the evidence in the lookback window shows only introduction of the amendment; no official source in the window shows enactment or even adoption, so the promise remains unresolved.
