Former President Donald Trump on June 30 visited the U.S.–Mexico border for the first time since leaving office and accused Democrats of running a “disinformation campaign” around their border policies.

Since leaving office in January, Trump has repeatedly criticized the Biden administration’s policies and messaging, saying they have led to a surge in illegal crossings. But while visiting with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, the former commander-in-chief appeared to deploy a new narrative.
