NIAC Condemns Deportation of Iranian Nationals Amid Ongoing Civil Rights Abuses
[]
NIAC
In the days that followed the June war against Iran, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) touted the arrest of 130 nationals from Iran.
Iranian nationals should not have been ripped from their families by ICE after the war and treated as a terror threat.
And the United States should be a place that welcomes and supports immigrants.
“The fact that a deportation flight is being chartered to Iran underscores the grave civil rights violations being inflicted on Iranian nationals here in the United States.
“We encourage full transparency from the Trump administration on its treatment of Iranian nationals, restoring the right to apply for and receive asylum for Iranians and other nationals, and an end to unjustified ICE targeting of Iranian nationals and other immigrant communities.
