Evidence

Congress.gov shows Rep. Veronica Escobar as the sponsor of H.R.2366. The CRS summary says DHS or DOJ may, case by case, decline to remove a non-U.S. national or bar entry to prevent hardship for a U.S. citizen spouse, parent, or child; the bill remains at introduced status.

Escobar backed family-unity immigration relief, but the measure is aimed at noncitizen relatives rather than directly blocking ICE from detaining or deporting U.S. citizens.

Congress.gov lists Escobar as an original cosponsor of H.R.4393. The bill page still shows the measure as introduced, with no House or Senate passage and no enacted law.

Escobar continued supporting broad immigration legislation, but this bill does not specifically show a direct block on ICE detaining or deporting U.S. citizens.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Escobar has taken same-term legislative action on immigration, including sponsoring or cosponsoring bills, but the cited measures do not directly block ICE from detaining or deporting U.S. citizens and none became law. Because the promise was specifically to support legislation on that narrow issue, the record here shows related effort rather than clear delivery of the precise promise.
