On April 30, 2026, the President signed H.R. 7147, the Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, into law.

This is a concrete enacted DHS funding action during the lookback window. It does not by itself prove the border is fully secure, but it shows Cole-backed homeland security funding moved into law.

Cole said the House passage of H.R. 7147 would end the DHS shutdown and that complete funding for Border Patrol and ICE resources was advancing concurrently.

Cole publicly tied the bill to border enforcement funding, indicating active pursuit of the border-security commitment rather than abandonment or reversal.

On June 11, 2026, the House Appropriations Committee approved the Fiscal Year 2027 Homeland Security Appropriations Act by a 34-27 vote. In the committee release, Chairman Tom Cole said the bill provides the personnel, technology, and resources needed to secure borders and enforce the law.

This is the latest concrete official House action I found in the review period. It advances border-security funding and operational resources, which supports the promise in a partial way, but it does not show that the border is fully safe and secure.

Committee Approves FY27 Homeland Security Appropriations Act | House Committee on Appropriations - Republicans

On June 9, 2026, Cole said the Secure America Act delivers long-term funding for ICE and Border Patrol personnel, immigration enforcement operations, and other homeland security priorities, and that House Republicans would continue supporting those who defend the homeland.

This shows Cole actively backing a concrete funding vehicle for border enforcement rather than abandoning the issue. It is strong effort evidence, but it is still a funding step rather than proof that the broader promise has been fully delivered.
