Evidence

AP reported the Senate adopted a 50-48 budget resolution to fund ICE and Border Patrol; Kennedy briefly held up the vote series, then withdrew his objection and allowed the vote to proceed. The article names only Sens. Murkowski and Paul among the Republican no votes, which implies Kennedy voted yes.

Kennedy appears to have voted for the Senate measure that funded ICE and Border Patrol, satisfying the commitment in the same Congress and term.

AP reported that Trump signed the bill into law on June 10, 2026, and that it provides $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for Border Patrol through 2029.

The funding Kennedy promised to support by vote became enacted law, confirming delivery of the underlying commitment.

The evidence indicates Kennedy voted for the Senate measure funding ICE and Border Patrol, and that measure was later enacted into law on June 10, 2026. That fulfills the promise to vote to fund those agencies, and it happened during his current Senate term.
