President Donald Trump claimed border encounters dropped 93% on his first full day in office, but Newsweek has been unable to verify this. Trump issued executive orders on January 20, declaring a national emergency and authorizing officials to remove migrants. A Truth Social post showed encounters fell from 2,516 on January 19 to 43 on January 21. Fox News reported a 60% drop in crossings, with 7,287 encounters from January 20-26, compared to 20,086 in Biden’s final week. Customs and Border Protection has not yet released official data. ICE raids and deportations are expected to continue under Trump’s administration.
