The homepage's recent press-release carousel listed May 19-21, 2026 items about veterans' rights, VA funding, an airport contract, and farmers' mental health; none referenced fentanyl trafficking or immigration enforcement.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Recent official activity in the lookback window is unrelated to the promise, so there is no concrete in-window sign that the claim was delivered.

The promise is framed as support, and in federal legislative context a House member can fulfill that by voting for and materially backing relevant legislation even if he cannot unilaterally impose the policy outcome. Bost’s official House materials show direct same-term support on both parts of the claim: on January 14, 2026 he backed H.R. 7006 and his office described it as 'cracking down on fentanyl trafficking and stopping taxpayer-funded programs that encourage illegal immigration,' which closely matches the promise text; earlier, on May 11, 2023 he also voted for the Secure the Border Act and publicly supported finishing the wall, hiring more border agents, and ending catch-and-release. That is enough to count the support promise as delivered in office, even if broader policy implementation depended on other actors.
