Assessments
The promise was to introduce and support legislation providing confidentiality for DACA deferred-action request information, not necessarily to secure enactment. Coons submitted S.Amdt.1955 in 2018 with DACA request confidentiality protections and voted to advance it, directly satisfying the introduce/support commitment during his Senate term. His 2025 cosponsorship of similar standalone legislation further supports continued action, but the 2018 amendment is enough for delivery.
