The Trump administration on Friday deported a group of roughly 20 migrants from Afghanistan, Iran, and other nations to the Central African Republic, which the U.S. government warns Americans not to visit 'for any reason' due to violence and unrest, a U.S. official told CBS News.

The United States has deported an Iranian pro-democracy activist to the Central African Republic, a move described as 'super dangerous' by her lawyer, who highlighted the lack of connection to the country and potential risks of forced repatriation.

A flight carrying at least two dozen migrants, including an Iranian woman fearing persecution at home, landed in the Central African Republic on Friday. This is part of the Trump administration's widely criticized deals with African and Latin American nations to take third-country deportees.

The US is reportedly aiming to deport 20 people, including Iranians, Syrians, and Afghans to the Central African Republic, a country facing significant instability and violence.

The United States has begun deporting migrants, including two Iranian women, to the Central African Republic under a newly concluded but secretive migration agreement. The deported Iranian women had sought asylum in the US due to fears of religious and political persecution but were sent to CAR despite having received protective legal status.

The Trump administration plans to deport a number of Iranians and other migrants to the Central African Republic, a chronically unstable country racked by violence and poverty, according to sources briefed on the matter.
