Assessments
Ruiz sponsored H.R. 7335 in the 119th Congress to require health screenings, medical care, basic necessities, and humane custody standards for people in ICE and CBP custody. The bill directly matches the promised policy, but the cited official records show it was only introduced and referred to committee, with no passage or enactment. That is a serious legislative effort but not fulfillment of the promised federal policy outcome.
