Evidence
Congressman Neal Dunn said the House-passed No Sanctuary for Criminals Act and Kate’s Law would help stop sanctuary cities, withhold certain federal grants from noncompliant jurisdictions, and better enforce immigration laws.
The official bill record shows H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, was introduced in the House to secure the borders of the United States and was referred to committee.
On the vote to order the previous question for consideration of H.R. 2, Secure the Border Act, Neal Dunn voted Yea.
On passage of H.R. 2931, the Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act, Neal Dunn voted Yea.
The House passed the No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act, but Neal Dunn was recorded as Not Voting on final passage.
As of February 9, 2026, Congress still had a new No Sanctuary Cities bill only introduced and referred to committee, indicating no completed federal ban on sanctuary cities.
Neal Dunn's official House vote record shows a Yea vote on H.R. 7744, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 32 was introduced in the House on 2025-01-03 and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary; the bill remains at the introduced stage with no later action shown.
Assessments
Dunn repeatedly supported border-security and anti-sanctuary-city legislation in the House, but the core promise was not actually achieved in federal law: the border was not fully secured, amnesty was not ended, and sanctuary cities were not outlawed. His record shows serious legislative effort, not delivery.
The promise combined several federal immigration outcomes: securing the border, enforcing existing law, stopping amnesty, and outlawing sanctuary cities. Dunn supported and publicly advanced related House measures, including border-security legislation and bills targeting sanctuary jurisdictions, so there was a serious legislative effort. But the evidence does not show enactment of a completed federal ban on sanctuary cities or full delivery of the broader promised immigration package. As of February 9, 2026, a new No Sanctuary Cities bill was still only introduced and referred to committee, indicating the core outcome remained undelivered.
The promised outcome was not fulfilled: there is no evidence that the border was fully secured, amnesty stopped, existing immigration laws comprehensively enforced as promised, or sanctuary cities outlawed federally. Dunn supported and publicly backed multiple related House efforts, including border-security legislation and sanctuary-city restrictions, which shows a serious legislative effort. However, the cited measures either did not become a completed federal ban or did not deliver the full promised policy outcome.
