Hoax – Donald Trump ordered the complete closure of US borders starting July 1, 2025.
Analysis
Alarmist messages about immigration and US borders have gained ground on social media amidst the intensifying political discourse and the advance of Donald Trump’s election campaign.
In one such post, a video narrated in Spanish claims that, starting on July 1, 2025, all US borders would be closed by Trump’s direct order. The narration also mentions the supposed collapse of airports and chaos in embassies. See below the text circulating online, the video, and its transcription:
Text: UNITED STATES TO CLOSE BORDERS ATTENTION Transcription: Breaking news: The United States will close its borders starting July 1. No one enters, no one exits. Not with a visa, not with a passport, not even with citizenship. The order comes directly from Donald Trump. A new executive order has been signed, putting the country on high alert. Airports are in collapse, embassies in chaos. Immigration agents are already aware of this. All movement is blocked. It doesn’t matter if you have your documents in order.
The instruction is clear: doors closed. The reason is still a mystery, but sources close to the matter speak of a national threat, something the White House has yet to reveal. Many compare it to 2020, but this time it is more radical. Even diplomatic flights may be suspended. Airlines have already received internal alerts. Tensions are rising, and millions are already on alert. Some speak of a possible biological attack.
Fact-checking
The message spread quickly and caused confusion among immigrants and yes, it crossed borders. However, it’s fake. To check, we will answer the three main questions related to the rumor: 1) Will US borders be closed starting July 1, 2025? 2) Has Trump signed any measure to close US borders? 3) How was the video that claims this made?
Will US borders be closed starting July 1, 2025?
No. There is no official announcement, public document, government alert, or international press coverage confirming the total closure of US borders on July 1, 2025. Airport and border operations are continuing as usual.
In reality, the message circulating on social media does not cite reliable sources, media outlets, or verifiable statements. It is content created to generate alarm and viral spread “out of thin air.”
Has Trump signed any measure to close US borders?
Not in the terms suggested by the video. It is true that Trump has publicly supported, including during his previous administration, strict measures against illegal immigration. Recently, he proposed border restrictions with Mexico, as reported by CNN Brasil.
However, no measures have been taken to completely close US borders — which would include citizens’ entry, diplomatic flights, or international trade. What happened here is a fake based on real information.
How was the video made that claims this?
The video uses an artificial Spanish narration and does not show real images of authorities, documents, or interviews. Nothing different from the typical fake news circulating online.
Conclusion
It is false that Donald Trump ordered the total closure of US borders starting July 1, 2025. The video circulating with Spanish narration was fabricated for sensational purposes and is not based on any official statement, executive order, or reliable media report. It is just another piece of misinformation exploiting fear.
