Schumer made a concrete effort to stop the roughly $1.8 billion fund by backing Senate language to bar payouts, but that amendment failed on the floor. Separately, courts kept the fund blocked and the administration reportedly moved to scrap it, and no claims or payments were made before the halt. That means the promised result was at least temporarily achieved before taxpayer money was spent, but not primarily through Schumer successfully delivering a binding legislative block, and the closure was not yet clearly permanent. This supports partial rather than full delivery.
