Evidence
The official press-release index lists "Rep. Sykes Introduces COOL IT Act to Strengthen Immigration Officer Training, Improve Safety, and Promote Accountability" dated 04/30/26.
Assessments
The available evidence shows Sykes introduced the COOL IT Act on April 30, 2026 to strengthen immigration officer training in ways aligned with the promise, including safety and accountability. But the record provided shows only bill introduction, not enactment or implementation of annual scenario-based instruction across immigration officer training. Under the stated rule, a serious legislative attempt that did not achieve the promised outcome should be scored as never, with effort_badge set to true.
