New Emails Confirm ICE's Coordination with Iran on Deportations Amid Ongoing Tensions

Newly released emails show U.S. immigration officials coordinated with Iranian representatives on deportation lists for flights in late 2025 and early 2026.
More than 100 Iranians were deported on three flights, with Iranian officials influencing passenger lists, even making last-minute requests.
The emails indicate pressure from the Trump administration to prioritize these deportations, despite the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
