Trump warns 'hardened criminal' migrants they'll be rounded up first as he gives update on mass deportations

President Donald Trump is expressing his support for the commencement of his widely publicized operation to remove illegal migrants, characterizing those being expelled from the country as the worst offenders.

Trump’s remarks come as the White House releases images of military equipment being deployed to the border and the first flights repatriating migrants to their respective home countries.

Trump cheered the roundup when asked about it by DailyMail.com, who was traveling with Trump on his first domestic trip as president. 

‘It’s going very well. We’re getting the bad, hard criminals out,’ Trump said, on a day he was touring disaster-hit North Carolina and California.

‘These are murderers, these are people – as bad as you get. As bas as anybody you’ve seen. We’re taking them out first,’ Trump said. 

The official White House X account pushed out video of military transports, troops, and Osprey helicopters being deployed to the border. 

‘The US Marine Corps Is On The Border Assisting CBP With The Mission To Secure America!’ according to the post. 

‘LFG!’ wrote White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, which in online usage often means ‘let’s freaking go.’

The State Department, under the leadership of Secretary of State Marco Rubio as appointed by Trump, shared a video showing migrants being escorted onto a transport plane for their journey back to Guatemala.

‘Guatemala and the United States are committed to putting an end to illegal migration and strengthen border security. Starting with two flights today, the United States and Guatemala guaranteed the safe return of Guatemalan migrants from the United States to their country,’ according to State.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids swept of 538 on Thursday, the New York Post reported. A source sold the paper some who were nabbed committed ‘some very heinous cases.’

But according to Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka, ICE agents raided a local establishment where they detained ‘undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.’ He called it a plain violation of the Fourth Amendment, which bars unreasonable search and seizures. 

‘None of these people were rapists, or murders, or criminals,’ he said.

The White House also put out immigration hardliner Stephen Miller to tout the round-up, which began in Denver and other so-called sanctuary cities.

Miller tore into what he called a migrant ‘invasion’ in an animated appearance on The Story with Martha MacCallum on Fox news.

‘And every single illegal alien that is identified for removal is going to be successfully removed from this country. We are not going to allow the trespass and invasion this country any more,’ Miller said.

Miller, who is deputy chief of staff for policy, brought some of the same energy of his warm up speeches at MAGA rallies,

‘There’s no sanctuary for criminal aliens in this country, now is there sanctuary for child trafficking,’ he said.

‘We are not going to be trammeled anymore. We’re not going to be trampled anymore. We’re certainly not going to be abused and violated anymore,’ he said.
