She said the surprise oversight visit showed "inhumane" and unnecessary conditions, that ICE had a permanent daily presence, and that decisions about detainees' movement, legal access, and processing were decided by ICE.

Wasserman Schultz made an unannounced oversight inspection of the ICE Broward Transitional Center and announced the No PREJUDICE Act and Build Homes, Not Hate Act. Her office said the first bill would bar DHS funds from being used for targeting based on perceived race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, work-site location, language, or accent; the second would redirect $70 billion from ICE funds toward housing.

Congress.gov lists H.R.4078, the Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment Act of 2025, with Wasserman Schultz as an original cosponsor. The latest action is referral to House Judiciary and Homeland Security on June 23, 2025, and the tracker status is Introduced, not passed or enacted.
Assessments
Wasserman Schultz took concrete same-term actions tied to the promise, including oversight inspections of ICE detention facilities, announcing new ICE reform legislation, and serving as an original cosponsor of H.R.4078, the Stop Unlawful Detention and End Mistreatment Act of 2025. But the available record shows these measures were introduced, announced, or referred to committee rather than enacted or implemented, and there is no evidence that federal reforms stopping ICE brutality or materially changing law-abiding immigrants' ability to live their lives were delivered. Under the rule for serious attempts that fail to deliver the promised outcome, this is not fulfilled but earns an effort badge.
The evidence shows Wasserman Schultz continued to fight the issue through oversight, public statements, and a surprise inspection of an ICE-linked detention facility during her current federal term. However, the promised substantive outcome was reforms that stop ICE brutality and allow law-abiding people to live their lives. The provided record does not show that such reforms were enacted or implemented, only that she advocated and conducted oversight. Because there was a serious effort but no delivered reform outcome, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
