The United States says it has not let illegal migrants into the nation for 15 months straight and has deported more than three million foreigners since President Donald Trump took office.
The administration made the allegations in a fact sheet issued on the White House website yesterday detailing efforts it said had been taken to restore the country’s immigration system.
“President Trump has kept his promise to reform the immigration system, put American citizens first and protect U.S. citizenship,” the White House said.
In his first week back in office, Trump signed an executive order proclaiming a crisis at the southern border and taking urgent action to prevent what it called the Biden administration’s “record-shattering illegal immigration” into the U.S. Read more Maps
The administration declared, “There have been no illegal aliens released into the country for 15 straight months.
“The Trump administration has deported more than 3 million illegal aliens, including thousands convicted for violent crimes,” it said.
The administration also announced it has initiated a “denaturalisation surge” against persons who allegedly fraudulently gained U.S. citizenship, noting that accusations had been made against 88 people who earned citizenship but were supposedly ineligible.
It said it had eliminated taxpayer-funded benefits for more than 1.4million unauthorised migrants who were wrongly accessing public aid and prohibited them from more than a dozen taxpayer-funded healthcare programs.
The White House stated the administration has “strengthened visa programs and their screenings and paused visa processing for 75 high-risk countries to protect the homeland and deter overstays.”
The government also said it had taken steps to remove tens of thousands of undocumented migrants from voter records in numerous states and was trying to ensure they could not vote in US elections, a right it defined as reserved for Americans.
The administration also claimed it had overhauled the citizenship test to better gauge applicants’ comprehension of American history, government and principles and to guarantee they met all eligibility conditions.
It also mentioned two executive orders signed on August 6, 2026, that sought to eliminate birth tourism and clarify categories of children who would not qualify for birthright citizenship in the wake of the Supreme Court’s verdict in Trump v. Barbara.
