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

U.S. President Donald Trump forged ahead with military deportation flights on Monday, sending another planeload of migrants to Guatemala a day after coming to the brink of a trade war with Colombia when it refused to let C-17 aircraft land.

The US has begun deporting migrants to Guatemala, with two military planes carrying 80 Guatemalans arriving Friday in the Central American country. The move marks the start of President Donald Trump administration’s massive operation to deport migrants.

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.

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.

Deported Guatemalans arrived following the announcement of Donald Trump administration of a massive operation to deport migrants, official authorities reported.

The deportation flight was blocked from leaving the US after two Air Force C-17 flights, each carrying about 80 deportees to Guatemala, successfully took off Thursday night.

Two US military planes carrying dozens of expelled migrants arrived in Guatemala on Friday, 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.

Two military jets landed in Guatemala City on Friday carrying deported migrants from Tucson, Ariz., and El Paso, according to local migration authorities and the American Embassy in Guatemala.

The Mexican government has not confirmed either the arrival of flights or any agreement to receive a specific number of planes with deportees
