Newly released emails show that U.S. immigration officials worked with Iran to deport Iranians in 2025.

This happened despite tensions between the two countries.

The National Iranian American Council got the emails and made them public on Tuesday.

The emails explain how more than 100 Iranians were flown back to Iran.

They were on three flights in September and December 2025 and January 2026.

The emails show that Iranian officials had some control over who was deported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials made last-minute changes to deportation lists.

They did this at Iran's request.

One ICE official wrote that the Iranian Embassy asked to add cases.

Another official said Iran requested changes to the manifest and faster removals.

Iranian officials were still making requests on the day a flight left.

However, those requests were denied.

The flights took place months after a ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran.

They followed a deadly 12-day war in June 2025.

The emails show that ICE officials treated the deportations as a priority even during the conflict.

One official warned that removals would be hard because Iran wasn't giving travel documents.

Its airspace was also closed.

์ด๋ž€์˜ ์˜๊ณต๋„ ๋‹ซํ˜€ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

A senior official, Marcos Charles, told staff to make a plan.

The plan was to deport 58 Iranians who had final removal orders.

The emails also show that at least one person was deported who shouldn't have been.

An official wrote that someone not on the final manifest got on a flight.

Another official said they had no idea how that person got through.

The emails suggest that pressure for the deportations came from the top levels of the Trump administration.

์ด๋ฉ”์ผ๋“ค์€ ์ถ”๋ฐฉ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์••๋ ฅ์ด ํŠธ๋Ÿผํ”„ ํ–‰์ •๋ถ€์˜ ์ตœ๊ณ ์œ„์ธต์—์„œ ๋‚˜์™”์Œ์„ ์‹œ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American Council, said the emails weaken Trump's claims.

Trump said the U.S. is at war with Iran to save ordinary Iranians.

Abdi said the top priority was to remove as many people as possible.
