Among the deportees are two Iranian women granted withholding of removal due to risks of persecution or torture in Iran. The first deportation flight, expected soon, also includes Syrians, Afghans, and possibly a Turkish national. The U.S. has defended third-country deportation agreements despite human rights concerns.
