Video Description

President Donald Trump said Thursday during his first Cabinet meeting of 2026 that zero illegal migrants have come into the country in the last eight months. “We had zero illegal aliens being admitted into our country for the last eight months,” Trump said. “That’s hard even for me to believe.” U.S. Customs and Border Protection put out a report in June of 2025 that said border patrol released zero illegal migrants into the interior of the U.S. which was down 62,000 from May 2024. “Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year,” Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner of CBP, said in a press release. This statement from Trump comes after Border Czar Tom Homan took over overseeing operations in Minnesota. When asked about the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good who were killed by federal officers, he said he would not comment on the investigations until they are over. "Let the investigation play out and let it go where it goes," he said. "I'm not going to come out making any comments." He said he did have an opinion, but he wasn’t going to share it. Homan also said Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was going to shift to targeted operations under his watch. "We got a lot of them,” Homan said. “We got a lot of them that keep us busy.” READ MORE: https://13wham.com/news/nation-world/trump-says-zero-illegal-migrants-have-come-into-the-us-in-the-last-8-months-minnesota-tom-homan-ice-immigration# _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: 13 WHAM on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/13WHAM 13 WHAM on Twitter: https://twitter.com/13WHAM 13WHAM on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/13whamtv/?hl=en 13WHAM on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@13wham?lang=en 13 WHAM Daily Local News Digest: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuTJB6tta5ar3Fu5CumAvlvVunEP6bc9A For more information, visit https://13wham.com/ Have a news tip?
