Hundreds of "illegal immigrant criminals" in the U.S. were arrested and hundreds more flown out of the country on military aircraft as President Trump's promised mass deportation operation got underway, the White House said.
Given Trump’s support in the Latino community, it’s also pretty much guaranteed that some number of the American citizens who they manage to round up and deport to some random country will be Trump voters. I wonder what that will feel like.
I think it’s possible that they’ll blame ICE specifically, while still holding on to their loyalty to Trump, telling themselves that the migration authorities have always been awful, which is true.

A bit like a leopard eating your face, I imagine.
