Florida carried out its first “deportation flight” Friday, sending away a group of people accused of residing illegally in the U.S.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the flight in a post on X, crediting a joint effort between the Florida Highway Patrol and ICE.
“In another first, our Florida Highway Patrol Troopers assisted @ICEgov to coordinate a @USCG deportation flight out of Tallahassee today. Thank you, @Sec_Noem! Florida will continue to deliver on President Trump’s mandate to detain, deport, and deliver for the American people!” Uthmeier wrote.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles echoed the message, reposting the announcement and adding, “The first of many more to come! Florida Highway Patrol will continue to deliver results and lead the way on combatting illegal immigration. Nobody does it better.”
Officials have not disclosed how many people boarded the flight or its destination.
