The Trump administration has launched a major crackdown on illegal immigration, arresting 538 migrants, including a suspected terrorist and gang members. Hundreds have been deported via military aircraft in what is described as the largest deportation operation in US history. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that those detained include individuals convicted of serious crimes such as sexual abuse of minors. The administration shared details of its efforts to "secure borders" following Trump's January 20 inaugural ceremony. A new executive order and the GOP-led "Laken Riley Act" aim to tighten immigration controls and address threats to national security.
