Trump’s DHS Secretary Drops Bombshell: Zero Illegal Releases Into U.S. for Over 11 Months After Biden’s 200K Weekly Flood

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has delivered a powerful update on the Trump administration’s historic success at the southern border. Under President Trump’s leadership, not a single person has been released into the United States after apprehension in over 11 months — a complete reversal of the Biden-era chaos that allowed 150,000 to 200,000 illegal entries per week with 96% released into the country within just 24 hours. This dramatic shift demonstrates the effectiveness of strong enforcement policies that prioritize American sovereignty and security.

The results speak for themselves. In April 2026, border apprehensions dropped to just 8,943 — a staggering 94% decline from Biden-era averages. Since Secretary Mullin was sworn in, the Trump administration has maintained a strict no-release policy, sending a clear message to the world that illegal border crossing will no longer be tolerated or rewarded. These numbers represent a monumental victory for the America First agenda that has restored order and safety to our southern border.

President Trump’s decisive action on immigration has delivered what millions of Americans demanded: a secure border that protects American workers, communities, and national security. The contrast with the previous administration’s open-border policies could not be more stark. As the Trump team continues to deliver results, the American people are seeing the tangible benefits of strong leadership and real enforcement.
