Trump deportation program shuttles 44,000 immigrants in chaotic mass deportations

A Guardian investigation of leaked GlobalX Airlines flight data shows that the Trump administration conducted over 1,700 deportation flights carrying approximately 44,000 immigrants in the first 100 days of his presidency. Immigrants were transferred between detention facilities and shuttled on complex flight routes, often without notice. The investigation documents cases including 252 Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador's Cecot mega-prison who had valid asylum claims.
