DHS Says New Security Milestone Reached On Border Under Trump

The Trump Administration is hailing a major achievement in terms of border enforcement, as federal officials announced that there have been 11 consecutive months without any illegal alien releases at the southern border. The milestone, confirmed on Friday by the Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection, represents what officials call a dramatic change in enforcement results.

“Eleven straight months of ZERO releases at the border. Under President Donald Trump’s leadership, we are delivering the most secure border in American history,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “The world knows America’s borders are closed to lawbreakers.”

CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott also hailed the milestone, echoing Mullin and crediting President Trump’s commitment to border security. “America First policies, real consequences, and a unified federal effort—backed by personnel, infrastructure, and technology—are how we’ve delivered the most secure border in U.S. history,” Scott said. “This isn’t temporary—it’s the new normal.”
