US EditionUS expected to deport dozens of Iranians as Trump threatens regime over crackdown
The Trump administration plans a third deportation flight returning 40 Iranians, including asylum-seekers at risk of execution, despite ongoing government crackdowns in Iran.
- This Sunday, the Trump administration plans to deport dozens of Iranians in the first known removal flight to Iran since recent weeks of anti-government protests, marking the third such operation.
- On January 8 and 9, massive unrest erupted in Iran, followed by a bloody crackdown and HRANA confirmed over 5,000 deaths, 26,000 arrests, and at least 975 executions last year.
- Reports from detainees and lawyers show two gay partners face execution risks in Iran, with Dalir recounting ICE officials told him `You are either getting on the plane on your own, or we will tie you and send you back`, Bekah Wolf said.
- Advocacy groups sharply condemned the plan, with National Iranian American Council President Jamal Abdi saying it forcibly sends Iranians back into danger, while Iranian diplomat Abolfazl Mehrabadi said deportees return voluntarily, contradicting reports, and immigration lawyer Bekah Wolf warned it shows policy hypocrisy.
- Past deportation flights each carried 55 people, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement removals included filmed cases and questioning by Iranian intelligence, while U.S. Department of Homeland Security framed prior removals as targeting suspected threats.
