United States authorities have arrested 538 migrants and deported hundreds in a mass operation just days into President Donald Trump’s second administration, his press secretary said today.

“The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals,” Karoline Leavitt said in a post on social platform X, adding “hundreds” were deported by military aircraft.

“The largest massive deportation operation in history is well under way. Promises made. Promises kept,” she said.

During the election campaign, Trump promised a crackdown on illegal immigration and began his second term with a flurry of executive actions aimed at overhauling entry to the country.

Newark City Mayor Ras J. Baraka said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents “raided a local establishment … detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant”.
