Public Law 119-1 requires detention of certain inadmissible non-U.S. nationals who are charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admit acts constituting burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, or a crime causing death or serious bodily injury.

The enacted law includes a law-enforcement-related public-safety provision, including detention triggers for assault of a law enforcement officer. It is federal and nationwide, not Cincinnati-specific.

The Washington Post reported that Sen. Bernie Moreno proposed legislation to increase the minimum amount people must pay to be released from jail on bond and called on Trump to withhold funding from Cincinnati until local leaders address crime there.

This is Cincinnati-specific evidence of Moreno taking or proposing a concrete federal action tied to local crime and public safety, but the report does not show enactment or direct new law-enforcement capacity.

Moreno said during the campaign that if elected he would immediately introduce legislation capping income tax for police officers at 5%, extending the proposal to fire and other emergency workers.

Shows a concrete campaign-era law-enforcement promise. The record found here supports the baseline for judging fulfillment, but does not itself prove enactment after he took office.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Moreno took same-term federal actions related to law enforcement and public safety, including voting for S.5, which became Public Law 119-1 and included detention provisions tied to certain crimes including assault of a law enforcement officer. He also reportedly proposed Cincinnati-specific federal action on bail and local crime. However, the enacted law is nationwide rather than Cincinnati-specific, and the record does not show that his more direct Cincinnati policing or officer-tax proposals were enacted or materially increased Cincinnati law-enforcement capacity. This supports partial fulfillment, not full delivery.
