解封文件显示：美国在战争期间仍与伊朗接触谈遣返，法官下令遣返计划须提前通知法院
据美联社11月5日报道，周四解封的一批法庭文件显示，特朗普政府在美国与伊朗交战期间，仍与伊朗方面保持接触、商谈遣返伊朗籍人员事宜。文件显示，美方与伊朗官员的接触具体围绕提交旅行证件、寻找「可能的遣返途径」展开；政府方面迟至10月中旬仍表示，计划经一个未具名的第三国遣返伊朗籍人员，但具体时间未定。
这批文件出自伊朗裔美国人法律辩护基金会在 Washington 联邦地区法院提起的诉讼。该诉讼指控特朗普政府的移民机构把伊朗庇护申请人的保密信息分享给伊朗政府，违反联邦移民法规、并危及当事人安全。国土安全部未立即就解封文件置评。
文件收录的10月15日听证记录显示，主审法官 Ana Reyes 当庭质问政府：「我们正与一个国家交战——总统近几天还说，这个国家基本处于无法无天状态。」当她追问美国是否仍打算把人送回该地区、面对「至少是必死无疑的严重威胁」时，司法部律师 Dimitar Georgiev-Remmel 回答：「是的，法官阁下。政府是在执行合法的遣返令。」
Reyes 法官已下令：政府一旦敲定任何把伊朗籍人员遣返至伊朗或任何其他国家的计划，须在24小时内通知法院，并在实际执行前至少提前5天发出书面通知；她在听证中警告，若政府违反通知要求，她将启动藐视法庭程序。司法部本周三在法庭文件中反驳称，这一命令实际上已构成对政府的禁令。
据该法律辩护基金会11月5日表示，过去一周至少12名被移民执法部门羁押的伊朗人被告知，他们可能经 Pakistan 被送回伊朗。目前尚不清楚任何遣返航班是否会实际成行。
Unsealed Filings: U.S. Held Deportation Talks With Iran During the War; Judge Orders Advance Notice of Any Removal Plan
The Trump administration held talks with Iran on deporting Iranians even as the two countries were at war, according to court documents unsealed on Thursday and obtained by The Associated Press. The documents show U.S. officials maintained contacts with Iranian officials during the war over the removals, specifically for submitting travel documents and figuring out "possible avenues for removal." As recently as mid-October, the government said it had plans to deport the Iranians through an unnamed third country, although it did not specify when that would be carried out.
The documents surfaced in a lawsuit brought by the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund in federal court in Washington. The lawsuit alleges that the administration's immigration agencies have been sharing confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, violating federal immigration regulations and endangering the applicants. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately comment on the unsealed filings, AP reported.
A transcript of an October 15 hearing shows U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes pressing the government: "We are at war with a country where the President of the United States has said, as recently as two or three days ago, if not yesterday, that it is essentially lawless." When she asked whether the United States still planned to send people back to that region, facing what she called "at a minimum, a serious threat of certain death," Justice Department attorney Dimitar Georgiev-Remmel answered: "Yes, your honor. The government is executing lawful orders of removal."
Judge Reyes ordered the government to notify the court within 24 hours of finalizing any plan to deport Iranians to Iran or to any other country, and to give five days' written notice before any such deportation is carried out. She warned at the hearing that she would initiate contempt proceedings if the administration violated the notice order. In a filing on Wednesday, the Justice Department argued that the order effectively served as an injunction against the government.
The legal defense fund said on Thursday that at least 12 Iranian detainees had been told in the past week that they could be flown to Iran through Pakistan. It remains unclear whether any deportation flight will actually take place.
