Evidence

Garcia's office says she introduced the Restoring Community Trust Act of 2026, which would repeal 8 U.S.C. §1373 and stop federal pressure on local police to share immigration-status information.

Official district-office release confirms she took concrete legislative action to repeal section 1373 and curb federal leverage over local police, but it does not show enactment.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 7252 was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary on January 27, 2026, with no later actions listed on the actions page.

The bill exists and was referred to committee, but the official legislative record shows no advancement beyond introduction/referral.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Garcia made a concrete federal legislative attempt by introducing the Restoring Community Trust Act of 2026, which directly matched the promise to repeal 8 U.S.C. §1373 and reduce federal coercion of local police. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or implemented policy change. Because the promised outcome was not delivered, but there was a serious legislative effort during her term, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
