GOP Trumpets DHS Claim Of 278,000 Non-Citizen Registrations To Ram Through Voter-ID Rules
Scapegoating and moral-panic mobilization
Customs and Border Protection still reports thousands of monthly paroles and transfers, yet Republican posts insist there have been 'zero releases' to portray Trump as uniquely tough. The claim contradicts publicly available statistics and feeds a fear-based immigration narrative.

Trump's historic border turnaround: Zero releases at the border for 11 consecutive months. EXCLUSIVE — The president securing the border, protecting citizens from criminal illegal immigrants, and implementing effective and common-sense border security policies is the new normal in the United States
“Zero releases” is a useless stat without context. I could never in my life go fishing and then say “I’ve had zero releases!” and it would be true. What we can say though is that ICE has murdered more American citizens than Border Patrol has released immigrants. How’s that for some context?
#Trump Administration Delivers 11 Straight Months of **Zero Releases at the Border** Border encounters for first six months of the fiscal year are **the lowest in recorded history** WASHINGTON — Today, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border
Dear Homewrecker, The “zero illegal aliens released” statement refers specifically to releases by Border Patrol at the border. Critics note that it does not necessarily mean zero undocumented immigrants entered the country overall, overstayed visas, or were processed through other legal/parole systems. Some debate also exists over how the government counts encounters and releases. �

🚨 For 11 straight months, there have been ZERO illegal migrant releases at our border. That’s a 100% decrease—compared to 78,496 releases in March 2024. Turns out all we needed was a new President. https://t.co/Hwx6jtnsuX

@WallStreetApes Globalists are losing their minds because Trump’s border strategy is WINNING: record-low crossings, zero illegal releases for 11 months, over 2 million self-deportations, and ICE gearing up for workplace raids to hit the next million. This is how you secure America — real

OK, Abe. Whatever. But riddle me this. If the CBP releases someone into the US from a border checkpoint doesn't that make the release legal? So I fail to see how any release ever made by CBP under the legal programs you call "catch and release" could be illegal. Yet congress under republicans Johnson & Thune has failed to close these legal windows. If you are really serious about controlling immigration more tightly how about you folks in DC do some real work and pass some legislation? Or do you feel creating the Nation's laws is no longer the role of congress?

@WhiteHouse Final warning to the globalist puppets in the DSA and DNC: Your open-border dream is dead. Trump’s strategies — military sealing the line, zero releases for 11 months, workplace crackdowns, ending every loophole — have already sent millions packing and made crossings plummet.
