The White House says the Trump administration also awarded Florida $608 million to expand immigration detention capacity.
The White House said on October 23 that US Border Patrol made no releases in fiscal 2026, describing it as the first fiscal year with that result. It also claimed 17 consecutive months without releases at the border.
The administration described the figures as an end to what it calls “catch-and-release”—releasing people taken into custody at the border. The claim concerns releases, not the number of people crossing the border: zero releases does not mean zero crossings.
Separately, the White House claimed illegal southern-border crossings fell 95% in fiscal 2026 compared with levels under the Biden administration. It described the annual total as the lowest on record, but did not specify the comparison period or give absolute crossing totals.
The White House also said President Donald Trump’s administration awarded Florida $608 million for immigration detention. It did not specify how many additional detention places the award would create. The funding is intended to expand the state’s capacity to hold people in immigration detention.
