On April 4, Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked the green card status of Hamidae Soleimani Afshar and her daughter, relatives of the late Iranian, General Kasim Soleimani. These two women, living in Los Angeles, got arrested by federal agents Friday night and are now held by immigration and customs enforcement. Afshar openly backed Iran's regime while here, spreading their propaganda on social media. She cheered attacks on U.S. troops and bases in the Middle East, praised their leadership, slammed America as the great Satan, and supported the revolutionary garcore, labeled a terrorist group by the U.S. Rubio confirmed the action on X, stressing the Trump team won't host folks cheering anti-American terror outfits. He also banned Afshar's husband from ever entering the country. This links back to Soleimani, head of the guard's elite quads force, killed in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq back in 2020. It's part of a larger crackdown. Here this month, the State Department stripped status from a former top Iranian official's
daughter and her husband, who then left voluntarily. No criminal charges filed here. Just straight immigration enforcement, with props to homeland security and ice for the takedown. Bottom line, the U.S. is sending a firm signal. Family ties to terror backers don't grain a free pass to stay and push that agenda on our soil. From across the country, powered by AI, this is U.S. News Today. I'm Cory with the story.
