Hasan Besharat, an 81-year-old Iranian immigrant held at the CoreCivic West Tennessee Detention Center in Mason since February, is scheduled for release after a seven-month legal fight. His attorney says Besharat entered the U.S. legally on a student visa in 1974, earned an engineering degree in Nashville, and had consistently complied with ICE check-ins for decades under an order of supervision issued in 2004. During his detention, his health reportedly declined, and his legal team filed multiple federal court petitions, including habeas corpus challenges, while community members in Tennessee advocated for his release. Family members reportedly described themselves as 'thrilled and ecstatic' upon learning of the decision.
