A deportation flight carrying at least eight Iranian detainees was canceled Sunday after they boarded in Mesa, Arizona, according to attorney Ali Rahnama. The Trump administration had told a court it planned to deport Iranians via a third country, while a lawsuit alleges the government shared confidential asylum information with Iranian officials.
Key Facts
At least eight Iranian detainees boarded the plane in Mesa, Arizona, on Sunday morning.
The planned route was to Georgia, then Pakistan, with onward travel to Iran; Rahnama said the flight was canceled without explanation.
Attorneys said roughly a dozen detained Iranians had recently been told they were scheduled for a deportation flight to Pakistan and then Iran.
Court records unsealed days earlier showed the administration had described deportation plans as recently as mid-October.
The Iranian American Legal Defense Fund's lawsuit alleges the U.S. government illegally shared confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with Iranian officials.
A federal judge ordered the government to give 24 hours' notice of finalized deportation plans and five days' written notice before carrying them out.
Rahnama said a senior Iranian representative visited the detainees who boarded and told them Iran would transport them from Pakistan.
The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on specific or prospective removal operations.

The article argues that voters support immigration enforcement but oppose broad raids and harsh tactics, and that President Donald Trump could respond with a more targeted approach. It says Stephen Miller, whom Trump named as his next chief of staff, has major influence over immigration policy but may resist the proposed compromise.
Key Facts
Trump said on 60 Minutes that his immigration crackdown may have been too tough and both helped and hurt him in the midterms.
Trump named Stephen Miller, a leading architect of his immigration policy, as his next chief of staff; Miller was due to start Monday.
An Ipsos poll in February found 45 percent of Americans supported deportation but opposed the tactics used.
In that poll, 61 percent rated secure borders as highly important, 57 percent did so for enforcing existing law, and 60 percent for legal status for undocumented workers with clean records.
A later survey cited in the article found 61 percent backed deportation, while 60 percent said immigration agents had gone too far.
Trump said he wanted to remove serious criminals but suggested some undocumented workers with jobs and clean records could be allowed to stay.
The article proposes low illegal-crossing numbers, priority removal of violent offenders and recent crossers, enforcement of final deportation orders, and a legal process for long-settled workers with clean records.
The article says Miller has substantial influence over immigration policy and describes his role in restricting asylum and refugee admissions.

The article argues that federal employees should plan for retirement by considering pensions, savings, Social Security, health coverage and insurance together. It points to rising health premiums, different cost-of-living adjustments and tax rules for catch-up contributions as factors that can affect retirement decisions.
Key Facts
The article says federal employees may receive benefits through FERS, the Thrift Savings Plan, Social Security, FEHB health insurance, FEGLI life insurance and survivor benefits.
The article reports that the average enrollee share of FEHB premiums rose 12.3% for 2026, following a 13.5% increase in 2025.
It says FERS retirees received a 2% cost-of-living adjustment for 2026, while Social Security and CSRS beneficiaries received 2.8%.
Starting in 2026, participants whose prior-year wages exceeded $150,000 generally must make catch-up contributions to plans such as the TSP on a Roth basis.
The article gives the 2026 catch-up contribution limit as $8,000, or $11,250 for participants ages 60 through 63.
Eligible federal employees can generally continue FEHB coverage into retirement if they meet enrollment requirements, including coverage during the five years immediately before retirement or since their first chance to enroll if that period was shorter.
The article says retirees should consider how FEHB and Medicare work together when they reach age 65.
It notes that delaying Social Security may require larger TSP withdrawals before benefits begin, while claiming earlier may reduce withdrawals from investments.

Leaked Russian death-certificate data reviewed by the Guardian records 412,576 deaths explicitly linked to the war in Ukraine. The full dataset could not be independently verified, and researchers say it likely understates Russian military deaths because some people remain missing or unrecorded and official records are delayed.
Key Facts
The dataset contains more than 11 million death certificates, including information about age, residence and place of death.
Two hacking groups said they obtained the data; Rosstat confirmed a hack but denied that sensitive information had leaked.
The reported 412,576 war-linked deaths were identified through cause-of-death codes or written references to combat and military operations.
British intelligence estimated about 500,000 Russian soldiers had been killed by September; independent outlet Mediazona has identified nearly 286,000 by name and estimates the true toll is closer to half a million.
Analyst Janis Kluge said official death records typically lag deaths by about six months and assessed the dataset as likely authentic.
War-related fatalities accounted for about a third of deaths among men aged 18 to 49 in Buryatia, Tuva and Zabaykalsky Krai from the invasion’s start to mid-2024, compared with about 10% in Moscow and St Petersburg.
The data indicates some of the deadliest months occurred in late 2024 and 2025, with several months exceeding 15,000 deaths, according to Kluge.
