On April 4th, the Trump administration just revoked green cards and visas for at least four Iranian nationals tied to their government, including two, now detained for deportation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the call this week, stripping their legal status after years in the U.S. Earlier this week, immigration agents grabbed Hamide Solimani Afshar and her daughter, niece and grand niece of the late revolutionary Garchief. Kasem Solimani, killed in a U.S. strike back in 2020. Her husband got banned from entering, too. This bill's on late last year's move against Iranian diplomats at the U.N. These folks have been living large in Los Angeles, openly backing the Iranian regime and shearing anti-American moves, even calling the U.S. the Great. Satan. Rubio called the mouth of supporting terrorist regimes right here on our soil. Rubio also hit others recently, like Fatime, Ardashir, Lara Johnning, daughter of Iran's former security chief killed last month, and her husband, both visas, gone, though they're

not in the country anymore. Early December saw more diplomats booted, too, unrelated to recent protests or wars, and in tongues, were finding all far peace. The State Department stays firm on keeping America off limits for regime backers, while Iran's U.N. mission had no word. Things like these signal a tougher line ahead on who gets to stay. That's your update from Global News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
