United States (U.S.) Vice President JD Vance made statements regarding the Trump administration's immigration policies and border security data in a post on his social media account.

Vance emphasized that the Trump administration had not released any undocumented immigrants into the country for 17 months, stating that fiscal year 2026 was the first in U.S. history in which the Border Patrol recorded no releases.

Vance reported that total border apprehensions in fiscal year 2026 stood at 98,708, a figure lower than the highest monthly total recorded during the Biden administration, which was 249,740.

Vance claimed that more than three million immigrants had left the country during Trump's second term, resulting in a reduction of at least 2.3 million in the undocumented immigrant population. He argued that this represented the largest decline in illegal immigration in modern history.

The statement also claimed that the Trump administration had prevented more than 10,000 individuals described as narco-terrorists from entering the country.
