Evidence (2024-05-29): Hamburger chain Fuddruckers has denied rumors that it is closing all its locations. [...] Another news post by The U.S. Sun revealed that social media buzzed on May 23, 2024, with the phrase "Fuddruckers closing all locations." The uproar originated from a now-removed TikTok post asserting Fuddruckers' complete closure in 2024. The video also claimed similar fates for chains like Pizza Hut and Applebee's. With over 50 locations spanning the US, Mexico, and Canada, Fuddruckers' purported shutdown garnered attention. However, it's important to note that while Fuddruckers isn't shuttering all outlets, it has indeed closed some in the past year.

Evidence (2020-09-11): "WE ARE OPEN!" is the message being pushed hard on Fuddruckers' website right now (see photos above and below), even though the board of directors for Luby's, Fuddruckers’ Houston-based parent company, voted this week to dissolve the chain. CultureMap Houston reports that it may be possible for Luby's to find a buyer, but claims the more likely scenario involves the chain closing its restaurants. But according to some franchise owners, this move won’t affect their restaurants. The Miami Herald quotes Marcelo Andres Montalvan, who owns five South Florida Fuddruckers, as saying "Our five locations will continue operating as normal." (Despite repeated attempts we have not reached our local franchise owners, but we will update this story if we hear back from them.) Magic Brands, the previous owner of the Fuddruckers chain, sold it to Luby’s in 2010. So it may be safe to assume that Fuddruckers will find another buyer ... but you might want to stop by and grab a fresh-never-frozen elk burger sooner than later, just in case.

Fuddruckers currently has 92 locations across the United States, and chances are good most of those locations will remain open for business. [...] Luby's Inc. said it will hold onto five standalone Fuddruckers restaurants, as well as four combined locations that house Luby's Cafeterias, too.

Evidence (2024-06-05): Howdy, folks, and welcome back to HHR. Today, we’re taking another moment for a "Fuddsdate," first, I’d like to address the elephant in the room: no, Fuddruckers is not closing all its locations. That seems to be related to an incorrect TikTok that was spread around in the last couple of weeks. However, three Houston area Fudds have at least temporarily closed: Stafford, Copperfield, and Kingwood. It’s been quite a while since our last Fuddsdate, so let’s take a minute to debrief. Fuddruckers was sold off during Luby’s liquidation in 2021. The new owner worked on expanding the concept as best they could during COVID. Making it into Kroger’s ghost kitchen and pitching plans to open locations in mall food courts. However, things at the company-owned restaurants have been in what I would consider a declining state for the past couple of years. Product shortages, credit card acceptance issues, and a lack of operating soda fountains, which were a prevailing theme in 2023, have once again sprung up this summer. I will add that things at Fuddruckers seemed pretty stable for at least a few months around the holidays, so this may be temporary.

Evidence (2024-09-23): Fuddruckers (sometimes abbreviated Fudds[4]) is an American fast casual, franchised restaurant chain that specializes in hamburgers. The Fuddruckers concept is to offer large hamburgers in which the meat is ground on-site and buns are baked on the premises. As of 2019, Fuddruckers had 49 company-operated restaurants and 107 franchises across the United States and around the world. The company headquarters is in Houston, Texas.

Claim: The number of people in the U.S. illegally is “upwards of 20, 25, maybe 30 million.” (Marco Rubio, 2024-05-19)
Evidence (2024-05-19): Different immigration groups, using different methodologies, estimate that the population here illegally ranges from 10.9 million to 16.8 million. Immigration officials have stopped people trying to enter the U.S. illegally 9.5 million times under President Joe Biden’s administration. But that doesn’t mean 9.5 million people are now living in the U.S.; millions were not allowed in. People dying, leaving the U.S. or legalizing their immigration status change the population-here-illegally number.
Claim: The number of people in the U.S. illegally is “upwards of 20, 25, maybe 30 million.” (Marco Rubio, 2024-05-19)
Evidence (2024-07-11): While in certain corners of the internet, it is emphatically stated that the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population has swelled by tens of millions over the past few years given the pace of encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border, a new MPI commentary explains why every encounter does not equal an increase of one person in the unauthorized population. [...] The estimates reflect the growing diversification of the U.S. unauthorized population, due both to the decline in the size of the Mexican unauthorized population that began right before the 2008-2009 Great Recession and the widening array of nationalities arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border over the past several years from within and beyond this hemisphere. [...] Source: MPI estimates of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population, developed in collaboration with Jennifer Van Hook from The Pennsylvania State University, Population Research Institute, are achieved by subtracting the number of legal immigrants from the total of all immigrants for each country and region represented in U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) data. The number of legal immigrants is estimated by adding up all legal admissions from each country and region in every year—using U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) administrative data—and then reducing this number to account for deaths and emigration of legal immigrants. Finally, the unauthorized immigrant population estimates are adjusted upward slightly to account for the recognized undercount of this population in the ACS. For more detail on this methodology, see MPI, "MPI Methodology for Assigning Legal Status to Noncitizen Respondents in U.S. Census Bureau Survey Data."

[...] We looked up how the department addresses "got aways." The department’s annual report on border statistics attempts to estimate the number of people who slipped past border agents, both detected and undetected. In fiscal year 2020, the department reported 136,808 "detected got aways" and estimated another 200,000 undetected unlawful entries into the U.S. The numbers for 2021 and 2022 are not yet available.

Evidence (2021-04-13): Border Patrol apprehensions of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border are on the rise again. Although the majority of people attempting to enter the United States illegally are stopped, this trend could foreshadow an increase in the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population after years of relative stability. Yet the activity at the southwestern U.S. border is only one part of the overall story of unauthorized immigration, as a growing share of this population came from regions other than Mexico or Central America and entered the U.S. legally but overstayed their visas. [...] Based on experience and research, we know the census counts and other official surveys tend to miss some people. Unauthorized immigrants are especially likely to be missed. Therefore, we do a further assessment of potential undercounts or undercoverage. Based on this additional research, our final estimate of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population includes an upward adjustment for undercount. (Our 1990 estimate comes from work by Robert Warren and John Robert Warren; details can be found here.) [...] The U.S. unauthorized immigrant population rose rapidly from 1990 to 2007 before declining sharply for two years and stabilizing at 10.5 million in 2017. Pew Research Center’s most recent estimate is well below a peak of 12.2 million in 2007, but roughly triple the estimated 3.5 million in 1990. The estimate includes 1.5 million or more people who have temporary permission to stay in the U.S. through programs such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS), as well as people awaiting decisions on their asylum applications; most could be subject to deportation if government policy changed.
Claim: The number of people in the U.S. illegally is “upwards of 20, 25, maybe 30 million.” (Marco Rubio, 2024-05-19)
Evidence (2024-08-01): Border officials encountered 11 million unauthorized migrants attempting to enter the US between October 2019 and June 2024. Data on these border encounters — which include people attempting to enter the country or apprehended trying to cross the border without inspection — helps the government estimate the number of individuals illegally entering the US. [...] While there isn’t any definitive data on unauthorized immigrant numbers — there’s no way to know how many people entered the US without an encounter — border encounter numbers serve as a helpful if imperfect proxy. The at-the-border apprehension rate helps the Office of Immigration Statistics model what proportion of illegal entries are prevented by apprehensions.

Evidence (2024-01-03): Comparing Biden-era staffing versus 2000: In 2000, there were fewer Border Patrol agents, and that likely made it easier to cross the border evading apprehension, the American Immigration Council, an immigrant-rights advocacy group, said in a 2022 report. Immigration officials estimate that 2 million people entered the U.S. without detection that year. In fiscal year 2021, the latest available data, about 390,000 people evaded detection.
