POTUS claims ‘most secure border in US history’ as encounters fall to record lows
By Anjali Sharma
WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump on Friday said that he has achieved what the White House called the “most secure border in our nation’s history,” with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that November’s encounter numbers fell even lower than October’s already historic lows.
“There were only 30,367 total encounters nationwide,” Leavitt said.
She added that for the “seventh consecutive month, US Border Patrol released zero illegal aliens into the United States.” She emphasized: “Let me repeat seven months of zero illegal aliens being released into our country.”
Leavitt cast the numbers as evidence that Trump had reversed what she repeatedly described as a crisis created by the previous administration.
“In ten months under President Trump, we’ve seen less apprehensions overall than we saw in just one month under Joe Biden,” she told reporters during her weekly White House news conference.
She called the outcome “remarkable,” declared that “the border is fully secure” and that “America’s best days are to come.” She framed Trump’s first year in office as a sweeping restoration of sovereignty and national security.
Levitt’s comments came after sharply contrasting views from critics who question the methodology behind the administration encounter tallies and the operational definition of “releases.”
She added that the trend is indisputable. “This is the single greatest and fastest national security victory in modern American history, and it’s not even close,” she asserted.
She linked border security directly to economic recovery, argued that reducing illegal crossings lowers public-safety burdens and strengthens overall affordability.
“Americans right now are on track already to make up one-third of the $3,000 in lost wages under Joe Biden,” Ms. Levitt stated.
She said connecting border achievements to broader economic progress.
India has followed US border policy shifts closely because a many of the migrants apprehended at the southern border are Indian nationals.
Smuggling networks have increasingly rerouted South Asian migrants through Latin America, making US enforcement decisions highly consequential for Indian families and immigration advisers.
