US to deport more Iranians back to Iran: Report

ISTANBUL

The US plans to deport several dozen Iranians to their home country on Sunday, according to a CNN source familiar with the matter.

It marks the second deportation flight carried out under a rare agreement between Washington and Tehran amid the Trump administration’s intensified effort to remove undocumented immigrants.

The source said the deportation flight is expected to make a stop in Kuwait before continuing on to Iran.

The National Iranian American Council, a nonprofit organization, criticized the decision and urged the administration to stop the flight.
