The statement "Ezekiel was transported into exile as part of the first Babylonian deportation" is True.

Ezekiel was indeed among those who were taken into exile during the first wave of deportations to Babylon, which occurred in 597 BCE. This event was a significant moment in Jewish history, as it marked the beginning of the Babylonian Exile, a period when many Israelites were removed from their homeland. Ezekiel, a priest and prophet, was one of the key figures during this time, and his prophecies were aimed at the exiled community, advising them about their situation and their relationship with God. His writings reflect the themes of hope and restoration that characterized the Jewish experience during and after the exile. Thus, the statement is accurately reflecting historical facts related to Ezekiel’s life and mission.
