Trump and Iran negotiated the deportation of Iranians

Documents reveal that the Trump administration and Tehran engaged in secret negotiations regarding the deportation of Iranians, even amid ongoing tensions. These discussions included the logistics of deporting individuals back to Iran, raising concerns from human rights organizations about the dangers faced by deportees, particularly asylum seekers. Recent court records indicate that over 100 Iranians were deported to Iran in late 2025 and early 2026, despite the lack of formal diplomatic relations between the two countries. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has denied allegations of sharing confidential information with Iranian authorities.
