Evidence

The June 10 law gave DHS about $70 billion and left out Democrats’ requested ICE/CBP guardrails, including judicial warrants, mask limits, body cameras, and other accountability measures.

The newest funding law for ICE and CBP passed without the reforms Democrats had been pressing for, so the reform fight was not won.

As the Secure America Act advanced, Democrats said they would fight the bill 'with every tool we have' and force votes on ICE and Border Patrol abuses of power and other amendments.

Durbin’s party was still actively pressing for immigration-enforcement reforms during the lookback window, but the bill kept moving without those changes.

Sen. Dick Durbin and Rep. Jamie Raskin filed a criminal referral alleging Noem made false statements and that ICE violated court orders and mistreated detainees.

Durbin was directly involved in a concrete oversight push against DHS/ICE misconduct, showing continued pressure for reform even though this predates the lookback window.

Assessments

The promise was to keep fighting for serious ICE and CBP reforms, not necessarily to secure final passage of those reforms. The evidence shows Durbin and fellow Democrats were still actively pressing for accountability guardrails, forcing amendment fights, and pursuing oversight actions against DHS and ICE during the relevant term. Although the major June 10 funding law omitted the reforms they wanted, that cuts against policy success, not against the narrower promise to continue the fight. On that standard, the promise was delivered in the same term.
