The United States Department of Homeland Security announced that it has deported three Iranian nationals suspected of terrorist activities from the country.
The United States Department of Homeland Security stated that three Iranian nationals—Ehsan Khaledi, Mohammad Mehrani, and Morteza Nasiri Kaklaki—were former members of the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
According to the department, these individuals were among 14 Iranian citizens who left the United States on Sunday aboard a deportation flight, described as the first return flight to Tehran since the start of widespread anti-regime protests in Iran and the regime’s deadly crackdown.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Mohammad Mehrani and Ehsan Khaledi illegally entered the United States through Southern California in 2024.
It was also announced that Morteza Nasiri illegally entered the country in November 2024 after being detected by the U.S. Border Patrol near San Luis in the state of Arizona.
The White House emphasized that all those deported were subject to final and enforceable orders, meaning that a federal judge had issued rulings for their removal from the United States.
