arrested Thursday and hundreds of others were flown out of the
country on military aircraft as President Trump's promised mass
deportation operation got underway, the White House said.
In a post on X Thursday night, White House press secretary Karoline
Leavitt said, "The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal
immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members
of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex
crimes against minors." Tren de Aragua is a violent gang that
started in Venezuela and has now started to spread into the U.S. It
became something of a flashpoint during the presidential campaign.
Those 538 arrests included 373 people with criminal records and 165
people without criminal records aside from immigration violations,
according to documentation provided by a senior administration
official. Another 1,041 people were removed or repatriated,
according to those records.
Arrests included a 23-year-old Ecuadorian citizen convicted of
rape. He was arrested in Buffalo. Another arrest in Buffalo was
that of a man from the Dominican Republic who was previously
convicted of continuous sexual conduct against a child. In San
Francisco, ICE arrested a man convicted of continuous sexual abuse
of a child aged 14 or younger, and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Meanwhile, a defense official said there had been two flights
overnight. Both went to Guatemala, according to two sources. 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.
