十几名民主党议员联名致信，敦促唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府保护那些无法安全返回伊朗的、居住在美国的伊朗人。
“我们写信敦促特朗普政府立即为目前身处美国、无法安全返回家园的伊朗公民启动保护措施，”信中写道。
“政府绝不能强行将美国境内的伊朗家庭遣返回伊朗——在那里他们将面临伊朗政权的人道主义迫害以及战争重启带来的双重危险——因此应当暂停遣返航班，并为伊朗人授予临时保护身份，比如临时保护身份（TPS）或暂缓强制遣返（DED），”信中继续说道。

这封信指责特朗普政府“未经宪法要求的国会授权，非法发动对伊朗的攻击，将数百万无辜平民置于不安全境地，冲突造成的人员伤亡每日攀升”。
“既然已经开启了与伊朗的当前战争，特朗普政府有道义和人道主义责任为伊朗公民提供直接的驱逐保护，”信中强调。
“政府还应当在伊朗人无法返回家园期间为他们提供援助，恢复移民福利审批，并加快发放工作许可文件，”信中写道。

卢比奥已撤销多名与伊朗政权有关联人士的合法永久居民身份。例如，美国国务院本月早些时候宣布，“在国务卿马可·卢比奥终止已故伊斯兰革命卫队少将卡西姆·苏莱曼尼的侄女和侄孙女的合法永久居民（LPR）身份后，二人已被联邦特工逮捕”。
“哈米德·苏莱曼尼·阿夫沙尔及其女儿目前被美国移民和海关执法局羁押。据媒体报道以及她本人在社交媒体上的评论，苏莱曼尼·阿夫沙尔是伊朗极权主义恐怖政权的直言不讳的支持者，”国务院在4月4日的公告中指出。

The letter declares that ‘the Trump administration bears a moral and humanitarian responsibility to provide Iranian nationals with an immediate shield from removal.’

More than a dozen Democratic lawmakers have signed onto a letter urging President Donald Trump’s administration to protect Iranians living in the U.S. who could not safely return to Iran.
“We write to urge the Trump administration to immediately institute protections for Iranian nationals currently in the United States who cannot return home safely,” the letter states.
“The Administration must not forcibly return Iranian families in the United States to Iran — where they face the dual threat of the regime’s humanitarian abuses and dangers a resumption of the war poses — and should therefore pause deportation flights and designate Iranians for temporary protection, such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or Deferred Enforced Departure (DED),” it continues.

The letter accuses the Trump administration of launching “attacks on Iran unlawfully, without the constitutionally required congressional authorization, plunging millions of innocent civilians into a state of insecurity, with the human cost of the conflict mounting daily.”
“Having initiated the current war with Iran, the Trump administration bears a moral and humanitarian responsibility to provide Iranian nationals with an immediate shield from removal,” the message asserts.
“The Administration should also provide assistance to Iranians in the United States while they are unable to return home, by resuming the processing of immigration benefits and expediting the issuance of work authorization documents,” the letter states.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House to request comment on Friday.
Rubio has yanked the lawful permanent resident status of multiple individuals with ties to the Iranian regime. For example, the State Department announced earlier this month that “the niece and grand niece of deceased Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s termination of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status.”
“Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement.As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary,Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran,” the department noted in the April 4 notice.
