Trump Administration Initiates Daily Deportation Flights to Guatemala, Deporting 160 Guatemalans Using Military Aircraft
Jan 26, 2025, 01:01 PM
The Trump administration has initiated a large-scale deportation operation, utilizing U.S. military C-17 aircraft to deport illegal immigrants. The operation began with flights to Guatemala, where two military planes carrying a total of 160 Guatemalans, including 79 on the first flight and 80 on the second, arrived on Friday. This marks the start of President Trump's plan to curb illegal immigration, as announced by the White House. Border Czar Tom Homan has stated that these deportation flights will occur daily, with the number of deportations expected to increase steadily. Homan emphasized that anyone in the country illegally is subject to deportation, starting with those who pose public safety and national security threats. The operation is part of a broader strategy to enforce immigration laws, with Homan indicating that the success of the mission will depend on funding from Congress. Photos of the deportations in Arizona have also been released.
