The White House has issued a press release: President Trump Delivers Historic Results for the American People in Under Two Years:

In less than two years, President Donald J. Trump has driven the most consequential stretch of governing in modern American history. He inherited a disaster — and turned it into a historic comeback. President Trump sealed the border, drove violent crime to historic lows, unleashed American energy, cut taxes for working families, focused Washington on merit and common sense, and deployed American strength on the global stage.

Promises made. Promises kept. Results delivered.

Securing America’s Borders and Putting Americans First

President Trump ended Democrats’ open borders disaster, established the strongest border in history, and restored American sovereignty.

The Trump Administration immediately ended “catch-and-release” — and has not released a single illegal alien into the country for 15 straight months.
The U.S. recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least half a century.
More than three million migrants have left the country in President Trump’s second term — the largest reduction in illegal immigration in modern history — with the illegal alien population down by at least 2.3 million.
Under President Trump, asylum is now granted in just 7% of cases — a historic low — plummeting from over 50% rubber-stamped under Biden.
The Trump Administration has stopped more than 10,000 narcoterrorists from entering the country.
ICE has arrested more than 10,000 illegal alien gang members.
President Trump designated major foreign cartels as terrorist organizations, including Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and Clan del Golfo.
President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, HALT Fentanyl Act, and Secure America Actinto law — mandating detention of violent illegal alien criminals, permanently classifying fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs, and delivering the largest border enforcement investment in a generation.
Fentanyl trafficking at the southern border collapsed 56% and fentanyl-linked deaths plunged 22% in a single year.
The Trump Administration cut illegals off taxpayer benefits, revoked more than 175,000 visas from foreign nationals, carried out the largest denaturalization effort in history, and launched a nationwide crackdown on illegal alien CDL fraud to get unvetted drivers off America’s roads. .....

Restoring Election Integrity and the Rule of Law

President Trump is relentlessly focused on restoring Americans’ trust in their elections, courts after years of Democrat lawfare.

President Trump exposed Chinese exploitation of American voter data, vulnerabilities in electronic voting systems, and hundreds of thousands of noncitizens registered to vote in federal elections.
The Supreme Court cleared the way for President Trump’s mail-in ballot order ahead of the 2026 elections.
The Trump Administration has secured many historic Supreme Court victories, including rulings allowing President Trump to fire executive officials, turn away so-called “asylum seekers,” and rescind Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of migrants.
