We’re going to propose and move forward on ... making sure we dismantle the [non-governmental organization] network that exists that’s creating all these confrontations.
Dismantle the NGO network that creates confrontations around immigration enforcement.

Evidence
The article says Schmitt was still pushing the Protect America Act and urging Republicans to end sanctuary cities; it describes the plan as cracking down on illegal immigration and restoring law and order, not dismantling NGOs.
Schmitt said the Secure America Act included his provision giving ICE an extra $350 million to arrest criminal aliens released from local custody when sanctuary cities refuse ICE detainers.
Schmitt's office says the Secure America Act included his provision providing ICE $350 million for resources to arrest criminal aliens released from local custody after sanctuary cities refuse detainers, release notice, or safe transfers. The listed resources are detainer management, release monitoring, custodial transfer, transportation, arrests, and detention.
Schmitt's press-release index for the lookback period lists items on birthright citizenship, an anti-fraud task force, citizenship hearings, judicial confirmation, and the June 10 ICE/sanctuary-city funding provision. The immigration-related items shown do not describe NGO investigations, NGO defunding, or dismantling an NGO network.
Schmitt announced a constitutional amendment to limit birthright citizenship to children of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, following a Supreme Court decision on birthright citizenship.
Schmitt's office said the Senate passed his $350 million ICE provision as part of a reconciliation bill, aimed at criminal illegal aliens released from local custody in sanctuary cities. The fund covers detainer management, release monitoring, custodial transfer, transportation, arrests, and detention.
Assessments
The evidence shows Schmitt advanced adjacent immigration-enforcement measures, especially ICE funding tied to sanctuary-city releases, and continued immigration-related activity on birthright citizenship. Those actions do not dismantle, defund, investigate, or otherwise materially disrupt an NGO network alleged to create confrontations around immigration enforcement. Because the successful provisions targeted ICE capacity and sanctuary-city cooperation rather than NGOs, the promised outcome was not delivered and there is not enough evidence of a serious attempt specifically aimed at the promised NGO-network objective.
The evidence shows Eric Schmitt materially advanced immigration-enforcement measures aimed at sanctuary cities and increasing ICE arrest capacity, and one such provision became law. But that is not the same as dismantling an NGO network that creates confrontations around immigration enforcement. Nothing in the provided record shows he wrote, passed, or materially advanced a measure specifically targeting such NGO networks, and the cited reporting frames his work around sanctuary-city policy rather than NGOs. Because the available evidence does not show delivery of the promised outcome, and does not show a clearly serious targeted attempt on the NGO-specific promise itself, this is best scored as never rather than partial or delivered.
