What the Evidence Shows

According to recent reports from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, for three straight months there have been zero releases of illegal aliens into the United States under President Trump's current administration.dailysignal.comdailysignal.comIllegal Aliens Staying Away From Border Amid Trump Admin’s 3-Month Zero-Release... This supports the claim about the zero-release record.

President Donald Trump, inaugurated in January 2025 as the 47th president, has prioritized border security, and these recent enforcement statistics indicate a strong focus on immigration control during his current term.

However, the statement that "the border is the most secure it's ever been in American history" is more subjective. Border security can be measured by multiple factors such as apprehensions, infrastructure, technology deployment, and illegal crossings. While recent data shows improvements in some areas, historical comparisons are complex and often politically charged.

The Wikipedia sourceen.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.orgIllegal immigration to the United States provides context on illegal immigration trends but does not specifically confirm or deny the claim about historical security levels.

The USA Today articleusatoday.comusatoday.comAs Trump's approach to immigration enforcement sees results, some call it... highlights aggressive immigration enforcement during Trump's previous administration and some public pushback, indicating that border security claims have been contentious historically.

In summary, the zero-release fact for three months is accurate as per current data under President Trump’s 2025 administration, but the broader claim about historical security status should be viewed with nuance.
