Trump Team's Secret Iran Deportation Plans Surface Amid War
Court papers reveal hidden talks to deport Iranians while Missouri elects a staunch conservative leader.
The Trump administration held secret talks with Iran about deporting Iranians while the war there continued, and as recently as mid‑October it said it had plans to send them through an unnamed third country, though the timing remained unclear; the push emerged from a lawsuit alleging violations of national immigration regulations.
Court documents unsealed on Thursday, obtained by the Associated Press, bring these hidden negotiations into the public eye, prompting skeptics of elite secrecy to demand transparency.
In Missouri, Rep. Darin Chappell, a Republican uncle of pop star Chappell Roan and a staunch conservative who has campaigned against abortion, gun control and critical race theory, was chosen as the next majority leader of the state House, a move that comes as the GOP grapples with its worst election defeat in decades.
