Two US military C-17s carrying migrants flew into Guatemala last night, as a wave of deportations is underway in the US since Donald Trump took office.

Another flight, however, that was supposed to fly to Mexico never took off after Mexican authorities refused to grant permission to enter the country, according to NBC.

It is noted that Trump on his first day in office declared the southern border a state of emergency, tasked the US military with helping to secure it, signed an executive order to end automatic citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants born on US soil.

In the Jan. 20 executive order, he ordered the Pentagon to send as many troops as needed to gain “full operational control of the southern border of the United States.”

“Deportation flights have begun,” White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said in a post on X.
