Why In progress: A long-running Escobar priority (official issues page; prior reporting on her immigration work). Comprehensive reform has not been enacted. She voted Nay on H.R. 29 on Jan 7, 2025, consistent with criticizing enforcement-only bills, but that vote is not treated as delivering reform. (batch1-research-2026-11-10, 2026-11-10 14:12:39 UTC)
