"(1) ESTABLISHMENT.—Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment ... the Secretary shall direct the Executive Associate Director to establish the Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center."

The Senate companion bill contains the substantive mandate to establish the center within DHS/HSI within 90 days after enactment; it shows the policy was legislatively advanced but does not itself prove enactment or implementation.

"The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act would establish an Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center within Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)."

Joyce publicly introduced the proposal to create the coordination center, confirming his direct advocacy and concrete legislative action.

"The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025 will align efforts within a new Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center to ensure that resources and information-sharing will be available across local, state, federal and private-sector partners..."

This reinforces the intended function of the proposed center and shows Joyce was actively building support, but it is still proposal-stage evidence rather than proof of delivery.

"Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment ... the Secretary shall direct the Executive Associate Director to establish the Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center."

Congressional debate in May 2026 shows the center was still being described as a bill directive pending enactment; this indicates the claim had not yet been completed by that date in the record reviewed.

"The agreement allows for up to $2,000,000 of this funding to be used for the establishment of an Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime section within the Cross-Border Financial Crime Center..."

A House appropriations document in the lookback created funding for an organized retail and supply chain crime section inside an existing center, which is only a partial implementation path and not the stand-alone DHS coordination center promised in the claim.

"The Supply Chain Resilience Center (SCRC) serves as a hub for key U.S. government and industry partners to come together to anticipate, analyze, and plan for potential supply chain disruptions."

DHS already has a Supply Chain Resilience Center focused on supply chain disruption and resilience, which is related but not the same as the organized retail and supply chain crime coordination center in the claim.

"Latest Action: House - 01/30/2026 Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 402... The bill has the status Introduced."

The House bill that would create the coordination center was still only moving through committee/Union Calendar in the latest recorded House action, with no enactment or delivery of the promised DHS center.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

David P. Joyce directly introduced and advocated for legislation to create the Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center, but the record shows the bill remained introduced and placed on the Union Calendar without enactment. A separate appropriations action funded only an organized retail and supply chain crime section inside an existing center, which is related but not the promised stand-alone DHS coordination center. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.

Joyce clearly made a serious legislative effort: he introduced and promoted the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025, and the bill text specifically would have required DHS to establish the Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center. But the evidence provided shows the bill had not been enacted by the latest recorded action, and even in May 2026 the center was still being discussed as a directive that would occur only after enactment. The appropriations language cited funded only a section within an existing center, which is a partial step and not the promised DHS coordination center itself. Because there was a concrete attempt but no evidence the promised center was actually established, the best judgment is failed delivery with credit for effort.
