At a surprise White House press briefing on Tuesday, President Donald Trump declared that the United States has experienced "zero" illegal immigration over the past eight months, a sweeping claim that Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem will likely take the blame for if proven wrong.
Standing before reporters in the West Wing, the president touted the administration's border enforcement achievements, saying that for eight consecutive months zero illegal immigrants have been released into the United States and that unauthorized border crossings have been effectively halted by "99.999%."
