Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Sparks Historic Mass Deportations
The United States has deported hundreds of illegal immigrants as part of President Donald Trump’s sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration. On his first day in office, Trump signed executive orders to address border security and immigration enforcement, declaring the U.S.-Mexico border situation a national emergency
In a bold move, the President also halted the practice of granting automatic citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants and suspended the U.S. refugee resettlement program for four months.
The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, announced that 538 illegal immigrants, including a suspected terrorist, gang members, and individuals convicted of sex crimes against minors, were arrested during the initial enforcement operation. In a post on her X account, Leavitt highlighted the scale of the efforts, describing it as “the largest deportation operation in history.”
CBS News reported the arrival of two deportation flights in Guatemala, carrying over 240 individuals, with a third flight underway. Guatemalan officials confirmed the transfers, which included flights from El Paso and Tucson.
The operation underscores Trump’s commitment to his immigration agenda, signaling an intensified effort to enforce border policies and combat illegal immigration.
