HuffPost, MS NOW and Raw Story report that a U.S. deportation flight of Iranian nationals bound for Iran via Pakistan was planned for Sunday and then canceled, according to an attorney with the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund. The flight was to leave from Mesa, Arizona, by way of Georgia. The group said in court filings that the plan would breach a federal judge’s order requiring five business days’ advance notice, and it filed a notice of apparent violation. HuffPost, citing the attorney, says the cancellation came without explanation. Court documents unsealed days earlier, according to HuffPost, showed the administration said in mid-October it planned to deport Iranians to Iran through an unnamed third country.
