Evidence

The Senate passed a $70 billion bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol for the next three years after Democrats had blocked the money for months.

By June 5, Democrats had not secured the reforms they wanted; the funding package was moving forward anyway.

The House narrowly passed the $70 billion immigration enforcement bill by 214-212 and sent it to Trump, over Democratic objections about accountability and oversight.

House Democrats were still opposing the bill, but they did not stop ICE and Border Patrol funding from advancing.

Trump signed the bill into law, giving ICE $38 billion and the Border Patrol $26 billion and ending a nearly six-month fight over DHS funding.

The promised funding freeze did not hold; the agencies were fully funded through the rest of the term without the demanded reforms being enacted.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Aguilar’s statement promised that House Democrats would withhold any additional ICE and Border Patrol funding until accountability measures and real reforms were in place. The evidence shows Democrats did resist and delay the funding for months, which qualifies as a serious legislative effort, but Congress still passed and the president signed a bill providing major new funding for both agencies without the promised reforms being secured first. Because the promised outcome was not achieved during the relevant term, this is best scored as a failed delivery rather than partial fulfillment.
