Evidence

Jeffries said the $70 billion ICE package would give the agency a blank check without guardrails, oversight, or accountability.

Jeffries was still actively opposing the ICE-funding package after House passage, showing the fight continued even as he challenged the bill publicly.

The House passed a $70 billion immigration-enforcement bill funding ICE and Border Patrol through 2029, over Democratic objections.

Congress moved in the opposite direction from the promise: instead of tighter control, the House approved major new ICE funding with no reforms attached.

Trump signed the bill into law, locking in nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement, including $38 billion for ICE.

The June signing ended the funding fight and entrenched expanded ICE resources, making near-term restraint less likely.

In federal office context, Jeffries could influence ICE policy through House leadership, legislation, and oversight, but not control the agency unilaterally. The evidence shows he actively opposed a major ICE funding package and argued it lacked guardrails, oversight, and accountability, which supports that he made a serious effort to fight the agency’s expansion. But the measurable outcome moved the other way: the House passed, and the president signed, a law providing roughly $38 billion for ICE without the reforms he demanded. There is no evidence here that Jeffries secured enacted oversight limits or otherwise got ICE 'under control.' Because he appears to have made a serious attempt but did not deliver the promised outcome, this is best scored as never with effort credit.
