Govt I.D.'s 12,000 Iranians for Deportation

Uploaded by Margaret

Government efforts to identify and deport Iranian students who are in the United States illegally have expanded to a planned start of proceedings against nearly 12,000 people. Earlier actions removed only 432 Iranians, and the timing for the bulk of cases remains uncertain as temporary immigration judges are deputized. The report also describes limited use of political asylum applications and contested treatment on some campuses, including claims of peaceful receptions despite state-level attempts to restrict enrollment or raise tuition.

So far,only 432 Iranians have been escorted out of the country.INS spokesmanVern Jarvis says it is uncertain when proceedings against the bulk of the allegedly"out-of-status"Iranians will begin. Jervis noted that 20 temporary immigration judges are being deputized,but thattheir priority will be participating in expulsion hearings against some 1700 Cubans. The round-up of Iranian students was begun by President Carter shortly afterthe November 4 seizure of the American embassy in Teheran. Since then,around 59,000 Iranians have voluntarily reported to immigration More on next page Continued from previous page officials.INS agents flushed out 2443 more students,and now estimate that 8000- 10,000 others remain unregistered. Of that "out-of-status"pool,the INS has charged that 2195 had violatedvarious civil and immigration laws,and ordered them deported. The most common infraction,Jervis says,is overstaying the term dictated inthe visas.Others have been charged with attending school part-time,despite visaregulations that they be full-time students,and with failing to get the requiredspecial work permits. But nearly half as many(2386)have applied for political asylum.None of theapplications have been approved so far.The State Department,which holds theapplications,refuses all comment about the requests for asylum. DESPITE OFFICIAL HOSTILITY,IRANIANS GET PEACEFUL CAMPUS RECEPTION (CPS)--Despite the vigorous efforts of legislators in four states to either ban theenrollment of Iranian students or make tuition so expensive that they would have tostudy elsewhere,foreign student advisors report the Iranians have had no troublesince returning to school this fall. Though efforts to squeeze Iranians out of state schools in Louisiana,Mississippi,New Mexico and Arizona faltered or were overturned by the courts,violent confront-ations among Iranian students in Washington,D.C.over the summer --and memories ofviolent campus confrontations over the last two academic years--raised fears thatIranians would get overtly hostile receptions when they returned to classes this fall.
