Noem says CBP posted 99.99% drop in "catch or release" and ICE captured over 200 'terrorists'
Secretary Noem, Department of Homeland Security, said Customs and Border Protection has posted a "99.99% drop in catch or release migrants at the border," and that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has "captured more than 200 terrorists, including 1 of the most wanted fugitives in India, right here on US soil."

Noem framed the statistics as part of DHS's broader enforcement message and credited presidential leadership in empowering law enforcement. The remarks did not include supporting documents, time frames, geographic scope, or operational details for the cited figures.

The transcript presents these figures as claims by Secretary Noem; the transcript did not include corroborating data, public reports, press releases, or named deputies providing the underlying counts. The terms "catch or release" and "captured" were used in the remarks but were not defined during the recap.

Those statements appeared as part of a one- to two-minute weekly recap and were presented together with commentary about media coverage and other DHS activities. No formal enforcement actions, proclamations, or legal citations were included in the transcript.
