Evidence

The Judiciary reconciliation title includes funding for immigration enforcement, including money for ICE, immigration judges, grants to locate and apprehend aliens unlawfully present or who have committed crimes, and temporary criminal detention of aliens.

Grassley backed a concrete legislative package that would expand federal tools for apprehending, detaining, and prosecuting criminal aliens, but it was a funding/proposal step rather than completed policy delivery.

Grassley said the Judiciary Committee had recently advanced legislation to strengthen criminal laws, including bills to improve federal prosecution of carjacking and target criminals who commit robberies at ATMs.

In the last lookback window, Grassley was still actively advancing public-safety legislation, but this statement did not show completed delivery on the immigration-crime promise itself.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Grassley, as Senate Judiciary Committee chair, materially advanced federal legislation in the same Senate term that would fund immigration enforcement, immigration judges, apprehension of unlawfully present people or those who committed crimes, and temporary criminal detention. That aligns with the promise's direction, but the cited evidence shows a proposal or committee-backed reconciliation title, not enacted closure of immigration loopholes or completed policy delivery. The separate public-safety legislation evidence does not directly deliver the immigration-crime outcome. Therefore this merits partial credit with an effort badge, not full delivery.
