Internal ICE emails reveal the agency coordinated directly with Iranian officials to deport over 100 Iranian nationals on three charter flights between May and November 2025, even as the U.S. and Israel prepared to bomb Iran. Deportees included political activists and religious minorities who feared persecution, and one man reportedly attempted suicide before ICE agents physically forced him onto the plane. The flights marked a reversal of longstanding U.S. policy that had generally allowed Iranians to remain in the country due to persecution risks.
