Illegal drug, border crossings, and human smuggling activities have decreased in areas where barriers are deployed in the United States. | false | Not Enough Evidence | 15 miles of new barriers seems unlikely to account for the halving of illegal crossing from 2019 to 2020.

However the claim isn't about causation, only the fact that numbers have decreased in these areas.

Germany’s Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that Thailand’s King Maha Vajiralongkorn didn’t do anything illegal while at his German residence. | false | Refuted | This claim is refuted. According to the QA pairs, Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas stated that they are "watching what the Thai king gets up to in Germany" as "politics concerning Thailand should not be conducted from German soil".
