FULL PRESSER: Trump recaps accomplishments of current presidential term; talks inflation, crime

Tuesday marks one year since President Donald Trump took the oath of office, launching his second term with an aggressive pace that administration officials say shows no signs of slowing as he looks ahead to the next three years.

The milestone was marked at the White House with a press briefing highlighting what the administration describes as major accomplishments across immigration, the economy, healthcare and government oversight. Trump joined the briefing, pointing to what he called measurable results from policies rolled out beginning on Day One.


Immigration enforcement has been one of the administration’s top priorities. Trump emphasized increased deportations, describing those removed as criminal offenders and praising the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Ahead of the briefing, ICE Director Todd Lyons said the administration has followed through on its campaign promise to close the southern border.

Lyons said daily encounters have dropped to near zero, a dramatic shift from what he described as tens of thousands of migrants entering each month before Trump took office. He called the turnaround “huge,” crediting new enforcement policies and executive actions.

The president also pointed to economic gains, arguing the administration has reversed what he called “Biden stagflation” and spurred strong growth. Trump said the economy is now “booming,” citing job creation and overall economic expansion as evidence of progress.
