WASHINGTON, November 14, 2026 — The White House released a fact sheet Friday claiming historic results in its first 21 months, citing 290 executive orders, negative net migration for the first time in over half a century, and the largest single-year drop in violent crime on record. The document frames the administration’s record as a product of executive action alone.
Executive Orders and Border Enforcement
The White House said President Trump executed 147 executive orders in his first 100 days and more than 290 since January 2025, a pace it described as a record. On the border, the administration said it delivered the most secure border in history, resulting in negative net migration to the United States for the first time in over 50 years. Welfare benefits for illegal aliens were terminated across federal programs, including public housing, food stamps, and small business loans. The White House also said H-1B enforcement was strengthened to protect American jobs and prevent visa abuse.
Violent Crime Declines
The fact sheet cites preliminary data showing the largest drop in violent crime in American history during 2025, with further declines continuing into 2026. Murders fell more than 18 percent to the lowest rate ever recorded, and robberies dropped more than 18 percent in the same period. Property crimes, rapes, and aggravated assaults all declined as well in 2025, according to the White House.
Fugitive Apprehensions and Fraud Crackdown
The administration said it captured all ten fugitives on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list — 2.5 times as many as the previous four-year administration — along with six of the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters. The White House said it cracked down on fraud, waste, and corruption across the federal government at an unprecedented rate, uncovering more than $260 billion in taxpayer fraud and stopping $72 billion a year in fraudulent payments. The administration said it stopped fraudulent payments before they went out the door, detected high-risk fraud trends, and shut down suspected fraudulent providers and retailers.
