  "account": "The United States deported more than three million foreigners in the past 15 months, according to a White House fact sheet. President Donald Trump's administration claims to have restored the country's immigration system and prioritized American citizens. In his first week as president, Trump signed an executive order declaring a crisis at the southern border and took immediate action to combat what it described as \"record-shattering illegal immigration\" under the Biden administration. For the past 15 consecutive months, no illegal migrants have been released into the country. The administration has also deported over 3 million illegal aliens, including those convicted of violent crimes. Additionally, the White House has filed claims against 88 people who received citizenship fraudulently and terminated taxpayer-funded benefits for over 1.4 million undocumented migrants improperly receiving public assistance. The administration has also banned these individuals from more than a dozen taxpayer-funded healthcare programs. Visa restrictions have been strengthened, and visa processing for 75 high-risk countries has been paused. The White House also moved to remove tens of thousands of undocumented migrants from voter rolls in various states, arguing that voting rights are reserved for Americans. Furthermore, the administration reformed the citizenship test to ensure applicants understand American history, government, and values, and clarified categories of children not entitled to birthright citizenship following the Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. Barbara.",
