The Trump administration is preparing to deport nearly two dozen people to the Central African Republic on Thursday, including at least two Iranian women who had sought refuge in the United States, according to lawyers and a government official.

The flight, which is also expected to include migrants from Afghanistan and Syria, would mark the first such deportation to the Central African Republic, a deeply impoverished country that has been plagued by conflict. The country is so dangerous that the U.S. State Department states on its website, “do not travel for any reason.”

At least some of the migrants have received court orders in the United States prohibiting their deportation to their home countries because of the threat of persecution or torture, their lawyers said. Migrants face a higher burden of proof to win this “withholding of removal” status than they do to qualify for asylum.

The Trump administration is working to find ways to deport people despite these court orders. The government is cutting deals with other countries willing to take them. The U.S. has sought or signed agreements with dozens of countries, including Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and Eswatini.

The Iranian women scheduled to be on Thursday’s flight have no criminal record and have been granted court protection against deportation to Iran, said Sahar Jalili Pawelski, one of their immigration lawyers. The precise circumstances of their cases were not immediately clear, but many Iranians who hold this protection fear persecution over their political beliefs or religious identity.

The women were in “serious disbelief” when they realized they were scheduled to be sent to the Central African Republic, said Ali Rahmana of the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund, who recently met with them.

The Department of Homeland Security said it would not confirm future deportations for security reasons. The planned deportations were confirmed by a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plans were not public. A senior immigration official in the Central African Republic said he had no knowledge of any final agreement.

The migrants have no ties to the country, and it is unclear where they will live or whether they could ultimately be sent back to Iran. The U.S. government has documented significant human rights abuses in the Central African Republic, including unlawful killings, torture and arbitrary arrest and detention.

“It’s one of the hardest places in the world to live, and the idea that it would be considered a safe third country is absurd,” said Anjli Parrin, director of the Global Human Rights Clinic at the University of Chicago Law School.

Damn, who named that country....Dan Snyder?

Makes about much sense as The Washington Football Team did.

Like it or not, President Trump i abiding by his promise to rid the country of illegals. Individuals like these may have been granted by a liberal immigration judge temporary court protections or asylum status against being returned to their countries of origin, due to fears of political or religious persecution. But deporting them to a third, unrelated country is a strategy being utilized to bypass these legal blocks.

This is being done as per agreements with those countries, and even the UK is deporting people to them.

Why are Iranian refugees "illegals?"

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why are Iranian refugees "illegals?"

They came here illegally. Trump is doing the right thing by deporting them.

 

[1srelluc]

Why are Iranian refugees "illegals?"

I suspect they are some of the Iranians that crossed our border illegally and Biden bestowed some sort of status on them. About like the rest of the illegal Iranians that showed up on our borders.

According to CBP data, over 1,500 Iranian nationals were arrested at the southern border during the Biden presidency, and nearly half of them were simply released into the U.S.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I wouldn't worry, Dimocrats are rushing to courts as we speak.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Send all Islamic men back to their country of origin. Facilitate the ability of women in Islamic countries to move here to escape the men.

Problem solved.

 

[JGalt]

Why are Iranian refugees "illegals?"

Because they're not here legally.

You don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Send all Islamic men back to their country of origin. Facilitate the ability of women in Islamic countries to move here to escape the men.

Problem solved.

How will Black American women from disadvantaged backgrounds, hoping to improve their lives through employmment and/or education, benefit from that?

 

[Rawley]

Why are Iranian refugees "illegals?"

My question too. Do you need a better example of why no one serious reads the NYTimes?

What’s wrong with an African country?

Are you racist or something?

 

[Eman623]

I wonder why no other countries want them either.

I wonder why no other countries want them either.

Because as soon as these women are settled onto public benefits they petition for their husbands to join them. It's called family reunification.

The Trump regime's immigration agenda is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate.

You tell'em Jones, but dear gawd learn some new vocabulary

 

[Eman623]

I wonder if Soleimani's niece and grand-niece got deported to the CAR. One can only hope.

Niece, grand-niece of slain Iranian Gen. Soleimani arrested by immigration agents

It follows a move late last year in which the visas of several diplomats and staffers at Iran’s mission to the United Nations were also revoked.

One thing I like about Trump is something I haven't been liking for quite a while before Trump arrived, and I mean worldwide. The entire world seems to be allowing criminal thug tyrant governments taking over countries while we take in the refugees from those thug countries who want to get out. Why?

Why don't we just get rid of the thug country's tyrants instead? The "refugees" would rather stay in their own country anyway. I say we bring the US to them instead of them coming to the US as refugees. It's time we quit ceding large swaths of land to dictator tyrants and then adding to our 40 trillion dollar debt taking care of all of these refugees.

Do the migrants have any ties to America either?
