Iranian Northeastern University Student Deported from Logan Airport
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Boston, an Iranian student attending Northeastern University was
detained at the airport and then deported from the United States,
despite arriving to Boston's Logan International Airport with a valid
student visa Sunday. Twenty-four-year-old Mohammad Shahab Dehghani
Hossein was deported Monday even though a Massachusetts district court
judge granted him an emergency stay of removal. In response, the ACLU of
Massachusetts said, "Given the Trump administration's xenophobic
policies and CBP's troubling practice at Logan Airport of sending
students with valid visas back to Iran, it is shameful that the
government defied a federal court order and deported Shahab without due
process."
