Just as President Donald Trump has promised, the deportation flights have already started, and photos and videos of the illegal aliens being shipped back home are going viral.
The Trump administration is using military aircraft for the deportation flights – and not commercial flights with their usual amenities.
CBS News reported: A Guatemalan migration official said three flights have arrived: A flight from El Paso, with 80 people, arrived early Friday morning. Another flight from Tucson, which also carried 80 people, arrived at around 7 a.m., and a third flight from El Paso with around 105 people arrived Friday afternoon.
NBC News reported: Two U.S. military plane flew immigrants to Guatemala last night, according to three U.S. defense officials and a source familiar with the situation. Another flight that was supposed to fly to Mexico never took off after Mexican authorities denied it access to land, the officials said.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce pushed back against NBC’s claim about Mexico. She wrote:
The fake news is already lying about our successful partnership with Mexico helping to make our region safe again. The truth is, four ICE flights arrived in Mexico yesterday.
Two military flights were sent to Guatemala because they were filled with Guatemalans.
2000 aliens were deported to Mexico yesterday alone by land and air, as Remain in Mexico was reimplemented. Promises made, promises kept.

Trump’s White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted photos on social media early Friday morning, and wrote, “Deportation flights have begun. 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.”
The photos show illegal aliens, with their hands and feet shackled, being marched into a waiting military plane.

Illegal aliens were also seen being marched back across the bridge into Mexico.
Video footage shows on illegal alien man among those going back across the bridge, as he suggests that people shouldn’t attempt to cross into the U.S., because there are a lot of migration authorities and “everyone is getting caught.”
JUST IN: Deported migrants arrive back in Mexico, are now *encouraging* others not to come to the United States.
Remarkable.
The new footage comes as the Trump White House released photos of migrants lining up to board deportation fights.

USBP Chief Michael W. Banks shared a video of the illegal aliens aboard the military plane.

Guatemala’s vice president, Karin Herrera, confirmed in an Instagram post that the flights of deported aliens had arrived. The post included photos, along with the following statement:
I will be verifying the Returned Migrants Reception Center to ensure proper implementation of reception and care protocols for nationals entering the country from the United States.
As the Government of Guatemala we maintain our commitment to the protection of the integrity of migrants, and the dignified and safe reception of the returnees.
