The Trump administration has initiated its pledged deportations of undocumented immigrants this week, but according to senior Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, there is an urgent need for additional aircraft to accelerate the process.
Miller conveyed to reporters that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has struggled with insufficient aircraft, which has slowed down deportation activities. The administration is now attempting to secure more planes from multiple sources to expedite removals, as Bloomberg reported. Deportation flights commenced, with ICE actions noted as early as Tuesday, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming the start of these flights on Friday morning via social media, showing images of individuals boarding C-17s.
Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Department of Homeland Security has issued memos under Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman, focusing on revising parole policies and expanding the capacity for rapid deportation of recent arrivals. Miller highlighted that the administration plans to utilize various methods to locate and deport those who entered the country under humanitarian parole.
Border Czar Tom Homan has stated that military aircraft will be employed daily to support these operations. Approximately 2,000 migrants were sent back to Mexico on Thursday, utilizing both ground and air methods. Meanwhile, Mexico itself detained around 5,000 migrants within its borders. The necessity for more aircraft was reiterated by Leavitt, emphasizing that the administration is using a mix of military and commercial planes for these missions.
Moreover, preliminary reports suggest that up to 250,000 children were born to undocumented migrants in 2023, adding to the complexity of the situation.
This current push for deportations underlines a significant shift in policy compared to the approach during the Biden administration, which notably did not use military aircraft for such purposes, opting instead for commercial flights when necessary.
