Trump signed the Secure America Act, providing nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement and funding ICE and border patrol activities through the rest of his presidency.

The administration did not reverse the ICE surge; after Keating's unsuccessful opposition vote, Trump signed a law expanding or sustaining immigration-enforcement funding through 2029.

The Secure America Act passed 214-212 and allocated $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to CBP, and $5 billion more to DHS through September 2029.

The final House result shows the ICE funding surge was not reversed. Democratic opposition, including Keating's official No vote, failed to stop the measure.

Keating joined Sen. Blumenthal after visiting an Afghan interpreter held by ICE and called the detention a betrayal of promises to Afghan allies.

Keating publicly challenged an ICE detention tied in the article to the White House's higher daily-arrest goals, showing some pressure against the administration's enforcement surge, but not a reversal of the broader city surge.

DHS launched Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on sanctuary cities, led by ICE.

This establishes the relevant ICE city surge that the promise sought to reverse. The later funding vote and enactment show it was not reversed as of July 2, 2026.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

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.
