The promise was specifically to introduce the Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act. The provided evidence shows Rep. Yassamin Ansari, together with Rep. Tom Suozzi, did in fact introduce that legislation on May 12, 2026, and she later referred to it on the House floor as legislation she introduced. Because the promised action was bill introduction rather than enactment, the commitment was fulfilled once the bill was formally introduced during her current federal term.
