Court reveals Trump gave Iranian regime access to asylum seekers ahead of deportations

President Donald Trump has resumed open hostilities with Iran, waging a war in apocalyptic terms and painting them clearly as an enemy. But behind the scenes, his administration was cooperating with Iran for one specific reason: deportations.

According to The New York Times, sworn affidavits "provide a detailed account of behind-the-scenes contacts that led the United States to deport more than 100 Iranians to Tehran between September 2025 and January 2026, not long before the initiation of U.S. military action against Iran in February."

The Iranian American Legal Defense Fund alleges that in the process, the Trump administration violated the law to share confidential information with the Islamic Republic, endangering the deportees' lives and subjecting them to persecution in their country of origin.
