The Trump administration has enlisted the U.S. military to quickly scale up its deportation capacity, which usually relies on charter flights. In the first week of President Donald Trump’s second term, the Department of Homeland Security reported deporting some 7,300 people. Among them were a planeload of Guatemalans who touched down in that country's capital this week, three days after being apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol. But U.S. military aircraft landing in a region with a history of U.S. military intervention has raised objections by some, along with images of shackled migrants.
