introduced the Somalia Immigration Moratorium Act, which imposes a 25-year moratorium on immigration from Somalia into the United States
Impose a 25-year moratorium on immigration from Somalia.
Occurrences
Evidence
The White House proclamation said the United States would fully restrict and limit entry of nationals of Somalia, and that the restrictions apply to both immigrants and nonimmigrants.
AP reported that Somali referee Omar Artan was denied entry to the United States in June 2026, and noted that Somalia is among the countries barred under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
Assessments
The promised outcome was a specific 25-year moratorium on immigration from Somalia. The evidence shows that in Brandon Gill's current federal term, the Trump administration imposed a broad entry restriction on Somali nationals covering immigrants and nonimmigrants, and later reporting indicates it remained in force. That is meaningfully related to the promise, but it is not the same as a 25-year moratorium, and the record provided does not show Gill personally wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced the restriction. Because a related federal restriction was implemented during his term but the precise promised policy was not delivered and candidate credit is limited, the best judgment is partial.
