The Anti-Defamation League publicly welcomed the introduction of the Jewish American Security Act, noting it would authorize grants for law enforcement protection of religious institutions and strengthen federal tools to combat antisemitism.

ADL's May 19, 2026 press statement endorses the Rosen–Lankford bill and summarizes key provisions (expanded NSGP funding, DOJ grant authority for protecting religious institutions, measures addressing online antisemitism), corroborating that the legislation was formally introduced and has civil-society backing.

partial same_term A for effort

Sen. Lankford co-sponsored and helped introduce the bipartisan "Jewish American Security Act" (Rosen–Lankford) on May 19, 2026, directly matching the promise to push legislation to strengthen federal efforts to fight antisemitism and protect Jewish students, houses of worship, and online speech. Introduction and stakeholder support (e.g., ADL) show a concrete legislative effort, but the bill had been introduced and not enacted at the time of the evidence, so the promise is partially fulfilled rather than fully delivered.
