Third Group of Deported Iranians Returns Home
WANA (Jan 27) – The third group of Iranian nationals deported from the United States under the immigration policies of President Donald Trump returned to Iran on Monday, January 26, 2026, arriving at Imam Khomeini International Airport. This group is part of a broader deportation process that, in recent months, has affected dozens of Iranian migrants living in the U.S.
According to available reports, members of this group were held for nearly two months in detention centers under harsh and stressful conditions.
Sources indicate that poor sanitary and health conditions in these facilities led to the spread of viral infections, with more than half of the detainees falling ill. Upon their arrival in Iran, those affected were placed in quarantine and are currently receiving medical treatment.
Iranian diplomatic representatives provided clothing and basic necessities to some of the detainees who had been held in inadequate conditions, helping facilitate their return.
Among those deported were individuals who had lived in the United States for years and had established jobs, social ties, and relatively stable lives. Despite this, they were subject to deportation as part of the U.S. government’s tightened immigration policies.
Reports further suggest that U.S. authorities plan to continue this process by identifying and deporting individuals who had paid significant sums—reportedly up to $100,000—for entry and residence in the United States.
These developments come at a time when the Trump administration’s immigration policies are facing widespread domestic and international criticism, particularly over human rights concerns and the treatment of migrants in detention facilities.
The return of this group of Iranian nationals has once again highlighted the gap between the image of the “American Dream” and the realities faced by some migrants—a reality that, for many in this case, ended not in opportunity or security, but in detention, uncertainty, and forced return.
