Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Grijalva publicly urged DHS to halt construction, investigate the damage, and enforce consultation and environmental laws, but the available evidence does not show DHS actually complied or that the underlying border-wall activity stopped. The harm was still being reported in the same period, so this is an active oversight effort rather than a completed outcome.
