Iran Awaits Second Plane of Nationals Deported From US

DUBAI, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Fifty-five Iranians deported from the United States will return to their home country in the coming days, Iran's foreign ministry said on Sunday, in the second such deportation under President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

In September, officials said the U.S. had identified about 400 Iranians to be deported, with a first flight carrying 120 people making its way to Tehran via Qatar's capital.

"In the coming days, about 55 nationals will return to Iran...This is the second group being returned to Iran in the latest months," Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said, adding that U.S. deportations were based on "political grounds and anti-migrant policies that are against international law".

Baghaei also criticised Washington for not facilitating visas for all of Iran's soccer delegation for the World Cup draw held on Friday in Washington.

"We have expressed our protest against the U.S.'s decision not to give visas for our team dispatched to the World Cup draw,” Baghaei said.

While Iran had applied for nine visas for its delegation, Iranian soccer federation spokesman Amir Mehdi Alavi was quoted as saying that the U.S. had granted only four visas, including for coach Ardeshir Amir Ghalenoei. The United States has long-standing strict visa restrictions on Iranians.

The Trump administration is leading the mother of all house cleanings and they should mop the floors and wash the walls with the Democrat Party.

Keep it going - utilize the same C-class transport planes Biden used to fly in "migrants."

Why do we hear so little news about the crises in Iran? The water shortage and now the banking crisis? Is our media controlled by the Ayatollah? It can be found but not in any source in the U.S.

A Wonderful start on a much larger project.. let’s see 1,000 flights full of their evil “immigrants” or invaders

and we can send them their proxy agents too (sourced from the Satanic slime pits of several Islamic nations and terrorist murder gangs).

let’s clean America of this dangerous enemy filth without delay!

I don’t see the word “illegal” in the article. How were these people singled out and where were they living/found - jobs etc.?

Yeah, we're REALLY rollin’ now.
If we could get the 55 up to p/day, we'd only need about 1250 years to get rid of what's here now.

Hooray for President Trump and the good ol’ USA. Hopefully, these critters weren’t implanted unbeknownst to them with trackers. Keep track of these miserable good-for-nothing varmints.
