Federal law enforcement officers arrested family members of former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani on Friday night after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their green cards.
Rubio removed the lawful permanent resident status of Soleimani’s niece and grand niece this week over their ties to and support for the Iranian regime, with whom the U.S. is at war. The two are now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and waiting for deportation after their arrest in Los Angeles.
