Occurrences

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.

Trahan commits to border security while rejecting a wall.

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 resolution directly targeted Trump's emergency mechanism for diverting funds to border wall construction, but it did not become law because the veto override failed.

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 enacted appropriations law funded border security and technology while providing limited pedestrian fencing rather than the full Trump wall. This supports only partial fulfillment because it included physical fencing.

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.

This later-term immigration and border-security bill indicates continued legislative activity in the issue area, but because it remained only introduced and the available official page does not show enactment, it does not prove delivery.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

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.
