Secure borders on the southern and northern edges of the country are necessary to ensure our safety from drug and human trafficking, violence, and terrorism. Lori is committed to doing all that is necessary to keep us safe. An ineffective, overpriced border wall, however, is not something Lori supports.
Secure the nation's borders without supporting a wall.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov states H.J.Res.46 would terminate the national emergency related to the U.S.-Mexico border declared on February 15, 2019. It passed the House and Senate, was vetoed by President Trump, and failed to pass over the veto.
The Clerk records Roll Call 94 on H.J.Res.46 as passed, 245-182. The vote listing shows Trahan, Democratic, Massachusetts, voted Yea.
The Clerk records Roll Call 127 on overriding the President's objections to H.J.Res.46 as failed, 248-181. The vote listing shows Trahan, Democratic, Massachusetts, voted Yea.
Congress.gov states H.J.Res.31 became Public Law 116-6. Its DHS provisions included CBP funding for border security technologies, trade and travel assets, facility improvements, and primary pedestrian fencing in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
The Clerk records Roll Call 87 on agreeing to the H.J.Res.31 conference report as passed, 300-128. The vote listing shows Trahan, Democratic, Massachusetts, voted Yea.
Congress.gov identifies H.R.4393 as the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025, sponsored by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, referred to multiple House committees, with Immigration as the policy area and 39 cosponsors. The bill remained introduced as of the Congress.gov page viewed.
Assessments
Trahan took same-term federal action consistent with the promise by voting to terminate the Trump border emergency and to override the veto, but those anti-wall efforts failed. She also voted for the enacted 2019 DHS appropriations package that funded border security technology, operations, and facilities, which supports the border-security portion of the promise, but the same law also funded specified pedestrian fencing in the Rio Grande Valley. Because the outcome included some border-security funding but did not clearly secure the border without any wall or fencing support, this is partial rather than delivered.
