Trump revives “Biden Border” attack with Del Rio migrant crossing images
Trump the post pairs the words “Biden Border!” and “DEL RIO” with aerial photos of migrants wading the Rio Grande and crowding under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald Trump renewed his attack on the previous administration’s border record with two images labeled “DEL RIO” on a Truth Social post on July 6, 2026 at 9:55 AM EST.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Biden Border!
DEL RIO”
The brief post pairs the phrase “Biden Border!” with two aerial photographs headed “DEL RIO,” the Texas city on the Rio Grande that became a symbol of migration pressure during the Biden years (see truthsocial). One image shows a large group of people wading through a river while carrying bags and bundles. A second image shows a dense encampment gathered near a highway bridge, with makeshift shelters and hundreds of people.
Del Rio sits on the U.S.-Mexico border and drew national attention during a September 2021 gathering of largely Haitian migrants beneath the international bridge. The images in the post are consistent with photojournalism widely published from that period.
Former President Donald J. Trump posted images of migrants on Truth Social on 07/06/2026.

Republican lawmakers have long framed conditions at the southern border as the “Biden Border Crisis.” Customs and Border Protection logged more than 7.8 million illegal border crossings since President Biden took office, plus at least 1.5 million “gotaways” who were detected but never apprehended (see senate.gov). The same account cites roughly 300,000 unaccompanied children encountered at the border and later placed with sponsors, and notes fentanyl seizures at the southern border between October 2022 and April 2023 exceeding 17,000 pounds (see senate.gov).
The situation at the U.S. southern border remains a prominent and contentious subject drawing significant public interest and debate (see truthsocial).
Immigration has been a recurring theme for Trump on the platform. In the last 30 days, 19 of 536 Trump posts were on the topic “Immigration.”
