Hundreds of "illegal immigrant criminals" arrested, hundreds more flown out of U.S. by military, White House says

Hundreds of "illegal immigrant criminals" in the United States were arrested Thursday and hundreds of others 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."

She gave no details.
