A US deportation flight transported individuals from Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Georgia to the Central African Republic on Friday, according to legal representatives. This practice, known as “third-country” deportation, has increased under the Trump administration as part of broader immigration restrictions. Concerns have been raised as the deportees include individuals with existing legal protections. The Central African Republic is currently facing significant political instability and widespread violence. The US State Department has issued a “do not travel” advisory for the entire country, citing safety risks. Critics argue sending individuals to such a dangerous environment is irresponsible and potentially violates international law. The exact number of Iranian nationals on the flight remains unconfirmed.
