The U.S. Government has released photos showing a military plane being used to carry out a deportation flight from Tucson.

Two military jets landed in Guatemala City on Friday carrying deported migrants from Tucson, Ariz., and El Paso, according to local migration authorities and the American Embassy in Guatemala.

The Trump administration began sending deportees on US military planes back to Guatemala and El Salvador, according to people familiar with the matter, as it looks to demonstrate that it’s acting on campaign promises to return millions of migrants to their home countries.

Regional leaders are holding an emergency summit in Washington Thursday, after attempts to push back on Trump's deportation plans proved fruitless.
