President Donald Trump’s portrayal of American renewal Tuesday night drew on falsehoods about American energy supremacy, health care and the economy as well as distortions about his predecessor’s record.
The Associated Press fact-checked remarks from Trump’s State of the Union speech. A look at some of the claims examined:
IMMIGRATION
TRUMP: “Before I came into office, if you showed up illegally on our southern border and were arrested, you were simply released and allowed into our country, never to be seen again. My administration has ended catch-and-release. If you come illegally, you will now be promptly removed.”
