A US-Iran channel shaped deportation flights as Tehran picked who was sent back
Newly released emails reveal U.S. immigration officials worked with Iran to deport Iranians in 2025 and 2026. Iranian officials influenced deportation lists and expedited removal processes for detainees. These flights occurred after a recent war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. The deportations marked a shift from past U.S. policy towards Iranian dissidents. Human rights activists criticized the deportations to a country with a history of persecution.
