The U.S. administration is preparing to take a notable step during a period of escalating tensions in the Middle East and renewed protests in Iran. It has been reported that Washington plans to deport dozens of Iranians in the near future as part of its security and immigration policies, a move that has raised concerns among both diplomatic circles and human rights organizations.
The U.S. administration is planning to expand its deportation operations against Iranians. In this context, preparations are reportedly underway for the deportation of approximately 40–55 Iranians from the U.S. in the coming days as part of immigration policy. This development comes at a time when the country is experiencing tensions related to protests and political developments in Iran.
IRAN PROTESTS AND U.S. COUNTERMEASURES
According to a report in Forbes, while the Trump administration announced a series of sanctions against Iran's oil sector, it is simultaneously preparing for the deportation of at least 40 Iranians. Some sources indicate that among those listed for deportation are Iranians who face the risk of the death penalty due to their sexual orientation; this situation is raising discussions on the international human rights agenda.
IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE
Previously, the Iranian government announced that there were Iranian citizens deported from the U.S. According to Reuters and Al-Monitor, it has been reported that around 55 more Iranians will be sent back to the country for violating U.S. immigration laws. This is considered the second phase of a broader deportation operation planned during the Trump era.
These deportation plans have become a topic of debate in terms of both immigration policy and international human rights. In particular, concerns that some Iranians could be punished if sent back to their countries are being criticized by various circles.
