Tucson, Arizona – The US government has published photos showing a military plane used to make an expulsion flight from Tucson.
The message indicates that “the United States transport command supports the expulsion flights to immigration and customs services by providing military air transport”.
The flight flight using military planes comes after President Donald Trump signed a decree declaring a “national emergency” on the border and that he would use the army in order to “secure our borders” .

Previously, immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) used commercial aircraft for expulsions.
President Trump’s “tsar of borders” Tom Homan spoke with ABC News and said it would now be a “daily event”. US officials told ABC News that there were two military flights on Thursday, transporting 150 migrants to Guatemala.
