The Clerk recorded H.R.7147 as passed 220-207, and Clarke (NY) voted Nay on passage.
Assessments
Clarke took direct same-term federal action: she was listed among the introducing members of H.R.7190, which sought to end immigration detention and electronic monitoring and redirect funding to community-based services, and she voted against a DHS appropriations measure tied to immigration-enforcement funding. However, the cited bill was only introduced/referred, not enacted, and the evidence does not show that she delivered an implemented policy preventing inhumane immigration detention or family separation. This supports partial credit with a serious-effort badge rather than full delivery.
