The Mexican government has not confirmed either the arrival of flights or any agreement to receive a specific number of planes with deportees. Some 538 illegal immigrant “criminals” were arrested Thursday, it said, followed by another 593 on Friday. A Pentagon source told AFP that “overnight, two DOD aircraft conducted repatriation flights from the US to Guatemala.”
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.
