Fact-check: Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally in New York City
Briefly

Trump stated he presided over the most secure border in history, an assertion contradicted by facts; he misrepresented FEMA's actions and immigration impacts.
Events preceding Trump's speech were marred by controversy as comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's racist jokes about Puerto Rico and marginalized communities drew quick condemnation from political leaders.

The rally attracted several prominent figures in support of Trump, but also highlighted controversial rhetoric surrounding race and immigration that sparked backlash across the political spectrum.
