Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is the clearest latest sign of failure: funding moved forward while DeLauro continued to oppose it, so the original promise was not fulfilled.
The bill contains no funding for ICE and prevents DHS from using any money in this bill for the Border Patrol.

DeLauro made a clear, absolute promise to block funding for the conduct she called corrupt, but Congress still advanced and passed major ICE and Border Patrol funding without the reforms or guardrails she demanded. The record shows sustained opposition and concrete effort from her side, including public statements, committee fights, and legislation that mirrored her approach, but those efforts did not deliver the promised outcome. Because she seriously tried yet failed to prevent the funding, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.

The promise was an absolute commitment, made in a federal House appropriations context, to block any funding for the described corruption. The record shows DeLauro actively used her Appropriations Committee role to pursue funding restrictions, holds, litigation support, and related DHS funding separation strategies. However, the cited latest appropriations markup says Republicans rejected the relevant changes, and the other evidence shows advocacy or partial movement rather than proof that no funds were allowed. Because she made serious legislative and oversight attempts but the promised funding denial was not delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
