Court orders return of US visa holder, who was flown back to Dubai to be removed to Iran.



A federal judge orders temporary restraining order (TRO) on Vayeghan v. Kelly, requesting Vayeghan's return to the U.S. under the terms of his previously approved visa. This follows a habeas petition that the ACLU Foundation of Southern California and the Law Offices of Stacy Tolchin filed on behalf of the Iranian citizen on Saturday, January 28. Before the court could rule on the TRO, Vayeghan was placed on a flight to Dubai to be removed to Iran. He is currently in Dubai.
