• Crushing Fentanyl and Cartel Threats: In 2025, fentanyl trafficking at the southern border was cut by 56% (https://t.co/KpulYLPUmv) compared to the previous year. President Trump signed (https://t.co/I57uret3yK) the HALT Fentanyl Act to permanently classify fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs, designated (https://t.co/c64xdykAt8) nearly a dozen (https://t.co/0L0ReknDTL) major Latin American cartels — including Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and Clan del Golfo — as terrorist organizations, and blocked more than 10,000 individuals (https://t.co/MTk23dKAnP) with narcoterrorist ties from entering the country.
• Border Wall and Enforcement Surge: On Day One, President Trump declared (https://t.co/S88jtz9irS) a national border emergency, resumed and expanded border wall construction with dozens of new miles (https://t.co/ZksqCPKSbi) underway in key sectors like El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley, deployed (https://t.co/aF0gY2urQK.) National Guard and active-duty military to the border, reinstated (https://t.co/v2iZtFNxW5) Remain in Mexico, and repurposed (https://t.co/JrA0Ed1aBB) the CBP One app to facilitate self-deportations.
• Enhanced Interior Security and Resource Protection: The Trump Administration doubled (https://t.co/jRiJk5y28r) ICE’s workforce, expanded (https://t.co/Y0EutRPVpI) detention capacity — including the largest migrant facility (https://t.co/dx9EEQIFwu.) in U.S. history, conducted over 206 million (https://t.co/8ZutDeTZ9g) benefits eligibility checks to preserve programs for Americans, terminated benefits for at least 1.4 million (https://t.co/obIm10u3c0) ineligible illegal aliens, and located
(https://t.co/DdvpG3JTVg) over 132,000 unaccompanied children lost under the prior Administration.
• Visa and Status Reforms: The Trump Administration has revoked (https://t.co/akdE6E7RY9) over 100,000 visas for fraud, criminal activity, or other security concerns, paused (https://t.co/P31H6EvZeW) immigrant visa processing for 75 high-risk countries, revoked Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands from countries like Somalia (https://t.co/ih6ivm4jT7), Venezuela (https://t.co/CoELguhAMv), and Haiti
(https://t.co/0FL2C1THDQ.), and suspended (https://t.co/sSBHPYrmP4) refugee resettlement.
