In the 119th Congress, H.R. 6565 was introduced “to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to promote family unity,” and Debbie Wasserman Schultz is listed among the cosponsors in the Congressional Record history for the bill in 2025 and with additional cosponsors added in 2026.

The record states that Dreamers “grew up in our communities and contribute to our Nation and to our economy,” and that Trump has been “attacking and separating hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families,” with harms to families, communities, and the economy; it also says the speaker will keep fighting to protect DACA and pursue a permanent solution.

The resolution states that immigrants have enriched society and “played a vital role in the growth and prosperity of the American economy,” strengthened communities, and that humane policies should prioritize family unity and a pathway to citizenship; it was introduced and referred to committee.

Rep. Wasserman Schultz introduced the TPS Review Act to reassert judicial and Congressional review of TPS decisions, with 58 original cosponsors. Her office said the bill would preserve TPS recipients' status and work permits while termination litigation is pending.

Wasserman Schultz joined constituent Claudia Carolina Rodriguez Caglianone after her release from the ICE Broward Transitional Center. The release says Claudia applied for asylum within six months of arriving from Venezuela, received TPS, had a pending asylum case, and Wasserman Schultz said she was proud to help spotlight the case and would keep fighting to keep such families together.
Assessments
Wasserman Schultz has taken concrete same-term actions aligned with the promise, including helping spotlight and secure release for a constituent immigrant family case, sponsoring the 2026 TPS Review Act, and cosponsoring family-unity immigration legislation. Those actions show continued advocacy for law-abiding immigrant families who fled dangerous conditions and contribute to communities and the economy. However, the available record shows legislative introduction, referral, and advocacy rather than enactment of a broad federal policy outcome, so this is partial delivery rather than full delivery.
The promise is broad and ongoing ('always fight'), so the key question is whether she took meaningful action in office on behalf of law-abiding immigrant families. The evidence shows she cosponsored H.R. 6565 in the 119th Congress to promote family unity and supported related pro-immigrant measures and statements defending Dreamers and family unity. That is concrete effort aligned with the promise. However, the available record does not show enactment or a completed federal policy outcome attributable to her, so this is not fully delivered. Because she demonstrably acted in the same term but without a completed outcome, partial credit is most appropriate.
