The administration of President Donald Trumprevoked this Saturday the residence permits and American visas of at least four Iranian citizens linked to the Islamic regime that governs that Middle Eastern country. At least two of them have been arrested by immigration authorities and are going to be deported.
Among these individuals, the niece and grandniece of the former head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the terrorist Qasem Soleiman i, who was killed in a U.S. air strike near Baghdad airport ordered by Trump in 2020, stands out. Both were arrested late Friday after the State Department revoked their green cards

“Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service,” says Secretary Marco Rubio's statement, adding that Afshar's husband has also been banned from entering the United States. Soleimani's family members would have been living a luxurious life in Los Angeles for many years while publicly supporting the Iranian terrorist regime.

"The detainee was a supporter of the Islamic regime that celebrated the attacks against Americans and referred to our country as the “Great Satan”, Rubio commented on his social networks. “The Trump administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreigners who support anti-American terrorist regimes

Rubio recently revoked the visa of Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, an academic and daughter of former Iranian national security adviser Ali Larijani, who was also killed in a US-Israeli airstrike last month. Her husband, Seyed Kalantar Motamedi, also had his visa revoked, according to the U.S. government. The couple left the United States.
In early December, before the Islamic regime killed thousands of Iranians who took to the streets to protest against the ruling theocracy, the State Department revoked or refused to renew the visas of several Iranian diplomats, including the deputy ambassador, and the personnel of Iran's mission to the United Nations.
