On June 9, 2026, Rep. Kevin Hern's official office statement said he voted in support of the second reconciliation package to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is a concrete immigration-enforcement funding action, but it does not show any direct move to condition public college funding on immigration-law compliance in the June 17-19 lookback window, so the specific promise remains unresolved.

Congress.gov lists H.R.768 in Kevin Hern's member activity for the 116th Congress: the No Funding for Sanctuary Campuses Act was introduced on January 24, 2019, referred to the House Committee on Education and Labor, and its tracker status remained Introduced.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is the closest official record for Hern taking concrete action on the promise, but the bill did not advance beyond introduction or become law, so it supports a failed/blocked effort rather than delivery. Web searches for the August 17-19, 2026 lookback did not surface a newer official delivery action.

Hern's campaign page says under Secure the Border that he cosponsored the No Funding for Sanctuary Campuses Act, H.R.768, to stop public funding for colleges that do not follow federal immigration law.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The campaign page ties the promise text directly to Hern's H.R.768 cosponsorship, confirming serious effort. Because official congressional status shows H.R.768 stayed introduced, this does not prove the funding cutoff was delivered.

Hern materially advanced the promise by cosponsoring H.R.768, the No Funding for Sanctuary Campuses Act, which directly matched the pledge to stop public funding for colleges that do not follow federal immigration law. But the bill remained at the introduced/referred stage and there is no evidence the funding cutoff became federal law or was otherwise implemented. His later vote to fund ICE and CBP concerns immigration enforcement generally, not conditioning college funding on immigration-law compliance.

The available evidence shows Kevin Hern supported federal immigration-enforcement funding, but it does not show any action to condition or cut public college funding based on compliance with federal immigration law. There is no documented legislative or executive effort in the record provided that would amount to delivering the specific promise.
