The Trump administration announced on Thursday it is attempting to deport Iranian academic and media commentator Yousof Azizi, alleging he lied on his visa application. The move has drawn criticism from a Muslim advocacy group, which framed the detention as part of a broader crackdown on Iranian voices amid the ongoing conflict. The case highlights the administration's immigration enforcement actions against individuals linked to nations in conflict with the US.
