The White House says deportation flights for illegal immigrants have started.
In a post on X Friday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared pictures of individuals being boarded onto military aircraft. Leavitt said, “President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences.”
Trump campaigned on the promise of conducting the largest mass deportation operation in the country’s history. Deportation flights happened under the Biden administration, but typically used civilian or commercial aircraft.
I-C-E is warning U.S. citizens could be questioned as agents carry out migrant sweeps in several major cities. ICE says it has arrested hundreds of illegal migrants, with Border Czar Tom Homan warning there could be collateral arrests. The Department of Homeland Security took to social media, saying the American people are already seeing results as border encounters sharply decline.
