US Deports Second Group of Iranian Nationals

The US has deported a second group of over 50 Iranian nationals amid ongoing immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. The chartered flight from Arizona to Iran, confirmed by Tehran’s foreign ministry, follows a similar deportation in late September and raises concerns about the safety of Christian converts and LGBT individuals facing persecution in Iran. Father Joseph Bach criticized the deportations as “the most unchristian thing to do,” while some detainees expressed unwillingness to return. These actions reflect heightened tensions between the US and Iran, exacerbated by recent military actions.
