By Andrew Mills and Parisa Hafezi
Dubai/Washington (Reuters) -A US and Iranian official said it had a land in Qatar on Tuesday before flying to Tehran.
The group included both convicted criminals and people who entered the country illegally, the US official said, on condition of anonymity.
The transfer points to an unusual moment of coordination between the two countries in Loggerheads on Iran’s Nuclear Program on Iran, saying that Tehran is completely civilian, but Washington aims to build a nuclear bomb.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, Iranian official played the idea of any political agreement with the United States, who participated in Israeli air strikes in Iran and nuclear facilities in June. The authority said the issue is not political, but a consulate.
Calling to respect the rights of Iranians
Hossein Noushabadi, General Manager of Parliament of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the United States plans to deport 400 Iranians illegally in line with the US government’s new anti -immigrant approach, “Most of the United States.
“In the first step, they decided to deport the 120 Iranians who entered the United States illegally through Mexico in the first step.” He said.
Noushabadi called Washington to respect the rights of Iranian immigrants in the United States.
He said that the first group of 120 people would reach Iran in the next one or two days.
The US official was planned to be transferred to Louisiana from Louisiana on Monday and that it is planned to come to Qatar late on Tuesday, thus transferring those who deported to a flight to Tehran.
The White House and the US State Department did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comments.
United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR said it was not consulted by the authorities and could not comment on the characteristics of any case.
UnkCR, “In general, states should respect the principle of asylum, not required and refund, that is, it should mean that people who need international protection should not be returned to a place where they are at risk of harm,” UnkCR said.
Trump’s Disienning Plans
Some of the Iranians volunteered to leave after they were in detention centers for months, and some of them were deported according to the New York Times.
Noushabadi quotes: “There were some (returns) residence permits, but it was included in the list for the reasons of the US immigration office. Of course, their consent was taken for their return.”
After the high illegal border crossings of Democratic predecessor Joe Biden, Democratic predecessor plans to deport a record number of people living in the United States without legal status in the USA.
However, the administration struggled to increase their deportation levels, even if they created new ways to send immigrants to other countries.
Among these roads, there was an agreement with Panama in February, including dozens of people from different countries, including Iran.
