Evidence
The official House homepage shows Glenn Ivey's latest public news items as Feb. 19, 2026 (ICE facility oversight in Hyattsville) and Feb. 4, 2026 (DHS shootings correspondence). The page contains no H-2A or H-2B references.
The campaign homepage emphasizes federal-worker defense and general advocacy resources. Page search returns no matches for H-2, visa, immigration, or labor.
Ivey's official immigration issue page states that the immigration system must enforce the law against employers who abuse H-2A and H-2B visas. The same page's 119th Congress "Relevant Legislation" list names H.R.3368, H.R.1589, H.R.1869, and H.Res.378, but it does not list a specific H-2A/H-2B employer-abuse enforcement bill or oversight action.
Ivey's official Votes and Legislation page says Congress develops, makes, and monitors laws and links to legislation sponsored and co-sponsored by Ivey. Its displayed recent votes are unrelated to H-2A or H-2B visa employer enforcement.
Congress.gov lists H.R.4319, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2023, as sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren and introduced June 23, 2023. Latest action was referral to the Social Security Subcommittee on December 17, 2024, and the bill status remained Introduced.
H.R.4319 text included H-2A employer compliance provisions: Labor could investigate complaints, order unpaid wages and civil penalties, disqualify employers from the H-2A program for willful or multiple material violations, and share complaint and remedy information across agencies.
The official H.R.4319 cosponsor page lists 22 current cosponsors, including members from California, Washington, Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. Glenn Ivey of Maryland is not listed among them.
Congress.gov lists H.R.3227, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2025, as sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren and introduced May 7, 2025. Latest action was referral to House committees, and the bill status remained Introduced.
The official H.R.3227 cosponsor page lists 10 current cosponsors: Newhouse, Simpson, Costa, Valadao, Gray, Carbajal, Salazar, Harder, Vindman, and Schrier. Glenn Ivey is not listed.
Assessments
The record shows Ivey continues to state support for enforcing laws against H-2A and H-2B employer abuse, but there is no evidence that he sponsored, cosponsored, passed, or materially advanced a concrete enforcement measure. Relevant H-2A reform bills in the 118th and 119th Congresses were introduced by others, did not become law, and Ivey was not listed as a cosponsor. No executive or oversight action tied specifically to H-2A/H-2B employer abuse is shown. Because he remains in federal office and the promise has not been clearly failed or delivered, the status is unresolved rather than never.
The available evidence shows no public H-2A/H-2B enforcement action on Glenn Ivey’s official House site or campaign site. With no documented legislative, oversight, or executive steps tying him to this outcome, the promise cannot be marked delivered or failed on the current record.
