Emails obtained by an advocacy group reveal cooperation between US immigration officials and Iran. This collaboration led to the deportation of over 100 Iranians on three flights. The influence of Iranian officials is apparent in the selection of immigrants to be sent back.

Details of the exchange are available, showing the arrangement of flights in late 2025 and early 2026. The emails provide insight into the working relationship between the two governments. Further information on the deportation process and the emails can be found through the National Iranian American Council, which made the emails public.
