Some immigrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and were arrested by Border Patrol have been released into the United States by the Department of Homeland Security despite the Trump administration’s claims that “zero” releases have occurred over the past nine months, according to four sources aware of the releases.

Although the number of border crossers let into the interior of the country is significantly smaller than it was during the Biden administration, that some illegal immigrants have been released into the U.S. at all appears to contradict President Donald Trump’s claim during the State of the Union address, as well as numerous statements by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, that no one had been let in since early last summer.
