Public Law 119-86 enacted the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026, appropriating FY2026 funds for DHS offices and components including the Office of the Secretary, Management Directorate, Intelligence and Analysis, CBP, TSA, Coast Guard, and Secret Service.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Congress enacted FY2026 DHS appropriations after Jacobs's call, continuing to fund DHS and its component structure rather than breaking up or fundamentally restructuring the department. This supports that the commitment remains undelivered as of the refresh date.

The Clerk recorded Roll Call 102 on H. Res. 1128, 'Expressing the support of the House of Representatives for the Department of Homeland Security.' The resolution passed 225-187-13; Rep. Jacobs, Democrat of California, voted Nay.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown A for effort

The promised outcome has not been delivered: DHS continues to exist and FY2026 appropriations continued funding its major offices and components rather than breaking up or fundamentally restructuring the department. Jacobs did take same-term action aligned with the promise by publicly reiterating the call and voting against a House resolution supporting DHS, but the record provided does not show enacted restructuring legislation or an executive change. Because she remains in federal office and the promise is not foreclosed, the best status is unresolved rather than never.

The evidence shows Rep. Sara Jacobs publicly reiterated this promise and advocated for breaking up and fundamentally restructuring the Department of Homeland Security, but there is no evidence here that such a restructuring was enacted, formally advanced to passage, or implemented through legislation or executive action. A public statement alone is not delivery, and the record provided does not establish a substantial failed legislative or executive attempt sufficient to score as never with effort credit. Based on the available evidence, the promise remains unresolved.
