Lawyers for a group of women who fled Iran say they are scheduled to be deported to the Central African Republic, according to reporting. The women are among nearly two dozen people slated for removal, the sources describe. One point raised by the lawyers is that the destination country is one for which the U.S. government has issued a broad travel advisory urging people not to travel “for any reason.” The reporting indicates that the women left Iran and sought safety and protection in the United States, but that immigration authorities have moved forward with plans to send them to the Central African Republic. Lawyers argue that the deportation plans raise serious safety and legal concerns, particularly given the risk environment reflected in the travel advisory. The accounts do not indicate whether the women have been deported yet, and they describe the situation as ongoing, with legal representatives seeking intervention before any removal occurs.
