两名因担心在伊朗会被处决而寻求美国庇护的伊朗同性恋男性正面临不确定的未来，美国官员未明确说明，如果他们的庇护申请失败，在美以与伊朗持续交战的背景下，他们是否会被驱逐出境。
阿里和阿德利用化名保护身份，他们于2025年从墨西哥进入美国，就在特朗普总统开启第二任期前不久。美国移民理事会移民正义运动主任丽贝卡·沃尔夫告诉CBS新闻，他们因性取向在本国面临指控。
沃尔夫表示：“在伊朗，他们被控一项可处以绞刑的罪名。很多时候，庇护寻求者所面临的处境并没有这么明确直白。我认为这无疑是我们庇护制度存在的最清晰例证。他们将被我们认为不应掌权的政权处决，而我们已经通过自身行动……在美国外交政策中证明了这一点。”

沃尔夫告诉CBS新闻，这对夫妇最初从伊朗逃往土耳其，“在那里生活了多年”，之后经南美、中美洲抵达美国。
“土耳其对LGBTQ群体也并不特别友好，而且……当地没有允许你寻求永久庇护的法律。”沃尔夫说，“关于他们是否本可以留在其他国家，这个问题有两种答案。其一，很多这类国家本身对LGBTQ群体并不友好。”
她表示，另一个原因是，他们途经的至少部分国家“针对特定国籍群体有相关政策，作为伊朗国民，他们在这些国家重新定居面临的障碍要大得多”。
沃尔夫称，自2025年1月在美墨边境被捕并被拘留以来，阿里和阿德列一直处于恶劣的拘留条件中，还遭到狱警虐待。
“他们遭遇了狱警和移民海关执法局（ICE）官员的肆无忌惮，他们给他们起侮辱性绰号、向其他在押人员暴露他们的身份这类小事，不会受到任何处罚，这是我们在前几届政府任内从未见过的。”沃尔夫说。
阿德莱表示，他和阿里穿越边境进入美国前，在墨西哥的一次袭击中受伤。沃尔夫说，他的伤势未得到妥善治疗，如今已无法正常行走，只能依靠轮椅。
沃尔夫表示，两人在最初的移民听证会中无法聘请律师，因为这类案件不会免费指派法律顾问。他们的庇护申请均被驳回，沃尔夫和美国移民理事会表示，如果当时有法律代表，这些驳回决定本可以避免。目前两人正对此前的判决提起上诉。
“在案件审理期间，他们不会被驱逐，但我们没有得到任何保证，万一出于某种原因暂停驱逐的决定被撤销，他们不会被驱逐。”沃尔夫告诉CBS新闻。
被驱逐至伊朗战区？
沃尔夫告诉CBS新闻，在美以对伊朗开战前，阿里和阿德列已经三次险些被驱逐回伊朗。
“他们曾被转移至所谓的中转拘留设施——也就是做好了被遣返回伊朗的准备，被告知即将被遣返，直到离 deportation（驱逐出境）日期仅剩一步之遥。”沃尔夫说，“不断担心被遣返回会处决他们的国家所带来的精神压力，加上拘留条件的恶劣，对他们来说真的非常艰难。”
她表示，她认为战争开始后，美国对伊朗的驱逐行动已经暂停，不过她称美国移民理事会并未收到任何官方通知。
“要将人员驱逐至任何国家，包括伊朗，你必须获得接收国的同意，必须与该国进行谈判。”她说。
CBS新闻多次询问白宫，战争期间是否暂停了对伊朗的驱逐行动，得到的答复是政府不会对具体案件置评。白宫让CBS新闻联系国土安全部。
国土安全部未就沃尔夫所述阿里和阿德列遭受的恶劣拘留条件，以及是否暂停了对伊朗的驱逐行动置评。该机构周三告诉CBS新闻，两人于2025年1月5日被边境巡逻人员拘留。
“法官已审理了他们的所有诉求，认定其无效。”国土安全部表示，并称阿里和阿德列在大约一年前已收到最终驱逐令。
“他们获得了完整的正当法律程序。目前他们仍在ICE拘留所，在被驱逐前将继续被关押。”该机构告诉CBS新闻。
与此同时，沃尔夫告诉CBS新闻，在战争期间留在美国，可能会让两人被驱逐回伊朗后面临的处境更加糟糕。
“我们知道，在冲突时期，在伊朗这样的国家，任何被视为与‘敌人’有丝毫关联的人都会受到怀疑，而这本身往往就会成为惩罚或处决的理由。”她说。
Trump administration won’t say if Iranians held by ICE could face deportation to a warzone

Two gay Iranian men seeking asylum in the United States over fear they could be executed in Iran are facing an uncertain future, with U.S. officials offering no clarity about whether they could be deported amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war with Iran if their asylum cases are unsuccessful.
Ali and Adel, who are using assumed names to protect their identities, entered the U.S. from Mexico in 2025, just before President Trump took office for his second term. They were facing charges at home over their sexuality, Rebekah Wolf, director of the Immigration Justice campaign at the American Immigration Council, told CBS News.
In Iran, “they were charged with a crime that is punishable by execution, by hanging, in fact,” Wolf said. “In many cases, it is not so stark or obvious what an asylum seeker is facing. I think this is by far the clearest case of why our asylum system exists. They are facing execution by a regime that we believe should not be in power. That, we’ve demonstrated through our own actions … in United States foreign policy.”

The couple initially fled from Iran to Turkey and “stayed there for a number of years” before traveling through South and then Central America to reach the U.S., Wolf told CBS News.
“Turkey is not particularly friendly to the LGBT community either, but also … they don’t have laws that allow you to seek permanent asylum there,” Wolf said. “The question of whether or not there were other places that they could have stayed, there’s sort of two answers to that. One is that many of those countries themselves are not friendly to LGBTQ communities.”
The other reason, she said, was that at least some of the countries they traversed “have policies about certain nationalities and they, you know, saw significantly higher barriers to being able to resettle in one of those countries” as Iranian nationals, she said.
Since arriving in the U.S. and being detained on the southern border in January 2025, Wolf said Ali and Adel have been held in poor detention conditions and faced mistreatment by guards.
“They are experiencing a sense of impunity by guards and ICE officials who don’t have any kind of repercussions for small things like calling them names, outing them to other individuals in detention, things of that nature that we did not see in previous administrations,” Wolf said.
Adel said he was hurt in an attack in Mexico before he and Ali crossed the border into the U.S., and Wolf said his injuries, which haven’t been properly treated, left him wheelchair-bound.
The two men were unable to retain lawyers for their initial immigration hearings, because counsel in such cases is not assigned for free, Wolf said. Both had asylum applications rejected for reasons Wolf and the American Immigration Council said could have been prevented if they’d had legal representation. They are both appealing the earlier decisions in their cases.
“They can’t be removed while a case is ongoing, but we have not received any assurances that, if those stays are lifted for whatever reason, that they would not be removed,” Wolf told CBS News.
Deportations to an Iranian warzone?
Ali and Adel have almost been deported to Iran three times already, Wolf told CBS News, all before the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Iran.
“They have been moved to a detention facility in what’s called a staging — so being prepared, being told they’re going to be sent back to Iran — and then getting all the way up to the date of a deportation,” Wolf said. “The mental stress of constantly being in fear of being removed to a place that wants to execute them, combined with the conditions of detention, are really, really difficult for them.”
She said she believes there has been a pause in deportations from the U.S. to Iran since the war began, though she said the American Immigration Council had not been told anything officially.
“In order to deport people to any country, including Iran, you have to have agreement from the receiving country. You have to have a negotiation with that country,” she said.
CBS News asked the White House several times whether there has been a pause in deportations to Iran amid the war and was told the administration does not comment on specific cases. The White House referred CBS News to the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS did not answer questions about the poor conditions that Wolf said Ali and Adel have been held in, nor about whether there has been a pause in deportations to Iran. The agency told CBS News on Wednesday that the two men were detained by border patrol agents on Jan. 5, 2025.
“All of their claims were heard by a judge and found not to be valid,” DHS said, adding that Ali and Adel had received final orders of removal about one year ago.
“They received full due process. They are currently in ICE detention where they will remain pending their removal,” the agency told CBS News.
Meanwhile, Wolf told CBS News the two men’s continued presence in the U.S. during the war could make the situation they face if they’re deported to Iran worse.
“We know that in times of conflict, in countries like Iran, anyone who is seen as at all connected to the ‘enemy’ is seen with suspicion, and that, often, in and of itself, is a basis for punishment or execution,” she said.
