United States reportedly deport 17 students despite arriving American airports with valid visas
The United States Immigration have reportedly deported at least 17 Iranian students who arrived with valid visas to study in the US.
According to label immigrant rights advocates, the students who had their dream of studying in the US were sent home and most were given five-year bans on returning to the US, after Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers deemed them “inadmissible.”
Immigration lawyers claimed the deportation began last year but it escalated in recent weeks amid high political tensions between the US and Iran, after President Donald Trump ordered the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani on January 3.
