Trump Claims Historic Immigration Shift, Announces DHS Moves and Agriculture Support

Trump Highlights Immigration Drop, DHS Action and Farm Support Donald Trump announced what he called a historic “America First” immigration milestone, claiming net migration has turned negative across U.S. metropolitan areas, with illegal border crossings at their lowest since the 1970s. The President directed the Department of Homeland Security to provide back pay and benefits to affected Transportation Security Administration officers amid the ongoing shutdown, warning it poses a national security risk. He also swore in Markwayne Mullin as the new DHS Secretary, tasking him with strengthening border security and tackling crime and terrorism. Marking National Agriculture Day 2026, Trump highlighted over $40 billion in support for farmers, alongside efforts to cut regulations and expand market access. The administration said the moves reflect continued progress on immigration, security, and economic priorities.
