Assessments
The verified commitment specifically describes Gimenez introducing legislation to codify the Trump administration's Remain in Mexico policy.

Because the claim is framed as supporting codification rather than achieving enactment, introduction/sponsorship is sufficient for delivery; no verified enactment evidence is required for this narrower promise.
