According to the President, no immigrants have crossed the border unlawfully in the last three months. Border Patrol’s efforts have led to zero illegal releases into the U. S. interior, marking an unprecedented milestone in border security.

The claim that no immigrants have crossed the border unlawfully in the last three months and that Border Patrol has had zero illegal releases into the U.S. Interior is not supported by available evidence.

What the Evidence Shows

According to official data and reports as of August 2025, while illegal border crossings have reached record lows under the current administration, they have not ceased entirely. For example, in July 2025 alone, Border Patrol arrested approximately 4,598 individuals attempting to cross unlawfully, indicating that illegal crossings continue to occur, albeit at reduced levels.

Furthermore, there is no credible evidence to support the assertion that there have been zero illegal releases into the U.S. Interior during this period. The claim of an 'unprecedented milestone' with zero illegal releases contradicts publicly available data and official statements from border enforcement agencies.

Therefore, the statement attributed to the President is factually inaccurate when evaluated against current border security statistics.
