What they posted

Trump & Republicans: delivered the most secure border in history, record-low crossings, first year with zero Border Patrol releases. Extreme Radical Democrats: pushing to reopen border, end mass deportations, grant mass amnesty amounting to $1.4–$1.9T. The contrast is clear. https://t.co/hiOssws8YT

Why it's Truth

CBP official releases (Oct 2026) and consistent monthly DHS/CBP data confirm record-low FY2026 apprehensions/encounters and the first fiscal year with zero Border Patrol releases; Washington Times and Fox News reporting aligns with primary data.
