Trump Admin Strikes Deal with Iran to Deport Iranian Nationals
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration has struck a deal with Iran to deport a plane
full of Iranian nationals, including people whose asylum claims of
religious and political persecution have not yet been heard by an
immigration judge. The New York Times reports a charter flight took off
from Louisiana on Monday evening with around 100 Iranian deportees on
board, part of what an Iranian official called a deal to repatriate
about 400 people.
