President Trump told the Faith and Freedom Coalition on June 26, 2026, that his administration has achieved things conservatives have wanted for decades — from a sealed border to restored religious liberty — and warned the crowd: “This is only the beginning.”
Story Highlights
- Trump claimed zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States for the past 13 months and called it the most secure border in U.S. history.
- Trump signed an executive order repealing the Johnson Amendment, freeing pastors to speak openly about politics from the pulpit.
- A new presidential commission on religious liberty, led by Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and Dr. Ben Carson, is now active.
- The Department of Justice launched a task force to fight anti-Christian bias and produced a documentary called “By Dawn’s Early Light.”
Trump Touts Border Win and Biggest Tax Cut Ever
Speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference in Washington, D.C., Trump told the crowd that the southern border is now fully under control. He claimed that for 13 straight months, zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the country. He also said he signed the largest tax cut in American history, putting more money back in the pockets of working families. These were two of the biggest promises he made during his campaign, and he told supporters both are now done.
The border claim is the boldest one Trump made. His own speech acknowledged the numbers come from a reporting group he described as having a “left kind of” lean. No specific government agency report or official data set was cited from the stage to back up the zero-admission figure. What is clear is that border crossings dropped sharply after Trump took office. His administration ended Biden-era programs like the Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan parole program and shut down the CBP One app, both of which had been managing migrant flow. The result has been a dramatic reduction in encounters — even if the exact “zero” claim remains hard to verify independently.
Religious Liberty Gets Real Teeth Under Trump
Trump announced two major moves to protect Christians and people of faith. First, he signed an order repealing the Johnson Amendment — a decades-old tax rule that threatened churches with losing their tax-exempt status if pastors spoke about political candidates. Now pastors can speak freely. Second, Trump created the first-ever presidential commission on religious liberty. He named Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson to lead it. These are concrete, structural changes — not just promises.
The Department of Justice also launched a task force focused on fighting anti-Christian bias in government and law enforcement. That task force produced a documentary called “By Dawn’s Early Light,” which examines cases where Christians say they were targeted. Trump told the crowd that under the previous administration, Catholics were investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and pro-life activists were jailed for praying outside abortion clinics. Those specific claims were not backed up with named cases or court documents during the speech, so readers should watch for official reports from the new commission that may provide documented evidence.
Military Action Against Iran and a Warning About Communism
Trump told the crowd that U.S. military strikes have severely degraded Iran’s war-fighting ability. He cited specific numbers: an 82% reduction in drone capacity, 80% in missile capacity, and 90% in rocket launcher capacity. He said Iran now has no navy, no air force, and no anti-aircraft capability. No Pentagon report or intelligence assessment was referenced to confirm those exact figures. But Trump made clear his administration acted where previous ones talked, and he challenged the media to dispute the results.

Trump closed with a sharp warning about what he called the rise of communist ideas in America. He told the audience that communism is “easy to sell” to people who have never lived under it, and said the left wants to replace faith, family, and freedom with government control. He called on the Faith and Freedom Coalition to stay engaged and fight back in every election. His message to the crowd was direct: the victories of the past 13 months are real, but the work is far from over. “This is only the beginning,” he said.
