The U.S. military's mission on the border is moving quickly as the White House and the Pentagon are making it a priority to publicize news about the mission.

The Trump administration began its promised deportations of illegal immigrants this week, but senior Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said Friday that more aircraft are needed to speed up the process.

The action follows Trump's signing of several executive orders, including one aimed at "Protecting the American people against invasion".

Hundreds of "illegal immigrant criminals" in the U.S. were arrested and hundreds more flown out of the country on military aircraft, the White House said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said early Friday morning deportation flights had begun, marking the first deportation flights using military aircraft since President Dwight Eisenhower was in office, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed U.S. official.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Friday that “deportation flights have begun,” releasing photos of people boarding military aircraft.

Military flights carrying illegal migrants flew out of the US on Friday as mass deportation began under the Trump administration.

GUATEMALA CITY, Jan 25 — Two US military planes carrying dozens of expelled migrants arrived in Guatemala yesterday, authorities said, without specifying whether they were part of the deportation operation launched by President Donald Trump.

The Trump administration began sending deportees on US military planes back to Guatemala and El Salvador, according to people familiar with the matter, as it looks to demonstrate that it’s acting on campaign promises to return millions of migrants to their home countries.
