Assessments
Keating made concrete same-term efforts against the ICE city-surge policy, including a No vote on the Secure America Act and public criticism of ICE detention practices. But the administration did not reverse the surge; instead, the enforcement package passed and was signed, providing expanded ICE and immigration-enforcement funding through 2029. Because he attempted to oppose the policy but the promised outcome was not achieved, this is not delivered, with effort credit.
