Latest news item on the official House site: "Members of Congress Press for Answers on Proposed ICE Facility in Hyattsville" (Feb. 19, 2026).
Latest news item on the official House site: "Congressman Ivey Leads Colleagues in Letter Demanding Federal Cooperation with Local Investigators in DHS Shootings in Minneapolis" (Feb. 4, 2026).
Ivey's official immigration issue page says comprehensive immigration reform should include humane treatment, DREAMer protections, a pathway to citizenship, and to "properly fund the security of our borders." The same page says: "Last Congress, I supported over $1.4 billion in resources to shore up our border" and that he will continue advocating for Border Patrol resources while respecting rights.
Congress.gov records H.R.2882 as becoming Public Law No. 118-47 on March 23, 2024. The CRS summary states the act includes the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2024, and provides FY2024 appropriations for DHS.
The enacted text appropriated $18,426,870,000 for U.S. Customs and Border Protection operations and support, including air and marine support, law enforcement support, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, and unmanned aerial systems. It also appropriated $850,170,000 for CBP procurement, construction, and improvements and $9,501,542,000 for ICE operations and support.
The Clerk records Roll Call 102 on March 22, 2024, for H. Res. 1102, providing for House concurrence in the Senate amendment to H.R.2882. The vote passed 286-134; Glenn Ivey, Democrat of Maryland, voted Yea.
Congress.gov records H.R.2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, as passing the House on May 11, 2023. The CRS summary says the bill's border-security division required DHS border-wall construction, CBP technology investment planning, Border Patrol staffing levels, Operation Stonegarden authorization, and other border-security measures.
The Clerk records Roll Call 209 on H.R.2, the Secure the Border Act. The vote passed 219-213; all Democratic yeas were 0, and Glenn Ivey, Democrat of Maryland, voted Nay.
Congress.gov records H.R.1869 as introduced on March 5, 2025, referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, and still at the Introduced status. Ivey's official immigration page lists H.R.1869 among bills he sponsored or co-sponsored and describes it as increasing capabilities and capacities of DOJ, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and other agencies to investigate and prosecute trade-related crimes.
Assessments
The promise is broad and spending-focused, and the available official-site evidence does not show Glenn Ivey delivering a concrete border-security funding outcome. The cited 2026 actions are immigration-related oversight and accountability efforts, not sponsorship, authorship, or material advancement of enacted border-security appropriations. Because Ivey is still in federal office and the record here does not show either clear delivery or a serious failed attempt tied to this promise, the most defensible judgment is unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
