No illegal immigrants were released into the US in the past six months, as the Trump administration cracked down heavily on the influx of migrants unlawfully living in the country and crossing the southern border, President Trump declared on Truth Social Saturday.
“0 illegal aliens released into the U.S. in the last 6 months,’ his post simply said.
“All we needed was a new president,” the White House posted on Facebook.
On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security released preliminary data for October showing “record-low encounters, sustained control across all sectors, and the sixth straight month of zero releases by the U.S. Border Patrol.”
Total encounters of would-be border crossers were 29% lower than the previous low of 43,010 in 2012, and a 79% drop from October 2024, according to the agency.
Trump and his team have organized a “mass deportation campaign,” which includes a push for people illegally in the country to “self-deport” as well as major law enforcement operations involving ICE, Border Patrol and the National Guard in cities and towns across the US. --->READ MORE HERE

Homeland Security said Wednesday that it has just completed its sixth straight month without catching and releasing any illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border.
The department said that was part of a continued record period of calm that includes not just the boundary with Mexico but the northern border and airports.
Customs and Border Protection tallied 30,561 encounters with unauthorized migrants nationwide last month. That’s the lowest October on record, and it is 79% lower than the same month in 2024 under President Biden.
“History made,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said. “Thank you, President Trump and our brave DHS law enforcement. You make America proud!”
The catch-and-release number is particularly striking. In the Biden years, there were months with more than 100,000 releases of migrants nabbed by the Border Patrol.
The department said every migrant arrested by agents now is processed according to the structures of the law, which means they are either ousted or sent to another federal or state agency for further action.
The department said that it is unmatched in modern border history.
The average day in October saw agents nab just 258 people across the entire 1,954-mile boundary, or about 8,000 for the month.
That’s up from an all-time monthly low of about 4,600 in July, but it’s far better than any month under the Biden administration. --->READ MORE HERE
