In the federal-office context, full delivery would require evidence that Rep. Roy materially pushed the relevant federal agencies to rescind the school-enrollment immigration-status guidance and that such a rescission actually occurred. The strongest record here is Roy’s March 20, 2026 House hearing attacking Plyler v. Doe, which shows a serious same-term effort on the broader school/immigration issue. But the provided evidence does not show Roy obtaining or materially advancing an actual agency rescission of the Obama-era restriction on states collecting immigration-status data in public schools, and the other cited actions are immigration-related but not on this specific policy. That makes this an unfulfilled promise with meaningful effort, not a delivered outcome.
