US Plans Iran Deportations Amid Unrest
The US government is planning to send back 40 Iranian migrants, including two gay men, to Iran.
This is happening even though there are big protests and violence in Iran.
The two gay men might be in danger because being gay is against the law in Iran and can lead to execution.
Some people are trying to stop this from happening, but the US government hasn't said much about it yet.
The US plans to deport 40 Iranian migrants, including two gay men, to Iran.
Deportation flights are set to depart from Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday.
The deportations come amid ongoing unrest and protests in Iran.
The two gay men face potential execution in Iran due to anti-LGBTQ+ laws.
Legal efforts are ongoing to prevent the deportation of the two gay men.
