GUATEMALA CITY: US military planes carrying dozens of expelled migrants arrived in Guatemala, authorities said Friday, as President Donald Trump moved to crack down on illegal immigration.
A total of 265 Guatemalans arrived on three flights 鈥� two operated by the military, and one a charter, the Central American country鈥檚 migration institute said, updating earlier figures.
Washington also sent four deportation flights to Mexico on Thursday, the White House press secretary said on X, despite multiple US media reports that authorities there had turned at least one plane back.
The Mexican government has not confirmed either the arrival of flights or any agreement to receive a specific number of planes with deportees.
But Mexico鈥檚 foreign ministry said Friday it was ready to work with Washington over the deportation of its citizens, saying the country would 鈥渁lways accept the arrival of Mexicans to our territory with open arms.鈥�
The flights came as the White House said it had arrested more than a thousand people in two days with hundreds deported by military aircraft, saying that 鈥渢he largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway.鈥�
Some 538 illegal immigrant 鈥渃riminals鈥� were arrested Thursday, it said, followed by another 593 on Friday.
By comparison, under Trump鈥檚 predecessor Joe Biden deportation flights were carried out regularly, with a total of 270,000 deportations in 2024 鈥� a 10-year record 鈥� and 113,400 arrests, making an average of 310 per day.
The Guatemalan government did not confirm whether any of the migrants arrested this week were among the deportees that arrived Friday.
鈥淭hese are flights that took place after Trump took office,鈥� an official in the Guatemalan vice president鈥檚 office said.
A Pentagon source said that 鈥渙vernight, two DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft conducted repatriation flights from the US to Guatemala.鈥�
Early Friday the White House posted an image on X of men in shackles being marched into a military aircraft, with the caption: 鈥淒eportation flights have begun.鈥�
And Trump told reporters that the flights were to get 鈥渢he bad, hard criminals out.鈥�
鈥淢urderers, people that have been as bad as you get. As bad as anybody you鈥檝e seen,鈥� he said.
Friday鈥檚 deportees were taken to a reception center at an air force base in Guatemala鈥檚 capital, away from the media.
Trump promised a crackdown on illegal immigration during the election campaign and began his second term with a flurry of executive actions aimed at overhauling entry to the United States.
On his first day in office he signed orders declaring a 鈥渘ational emergency鈥� at the southern border and announced the deployment of more troops to the area while vowing to deport 鈥渃riminal aliens.鈥�
His administration said it would also reinstate a 鈥淩emain in Mexico鈥� policy under which people who apply to enter the United States from Mexico must remain there until their application has been decided.
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Friday on X that program had been reinstated, and that Mexico had deployed some 30,000 National Guard troops to its border.
The Mexican foreign ministry did not confirm either claim in its statement.
The White House has also halted an asylum program for people fleeing authoritarian regimes in Central and South America, leaving thousands of people stranded on the Mexican side of the border.
