US Arrests Niece of Late Iranian General Soleimani After Revoking Legal Status
Federal agents arrested Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter in Los Angeles. This happened after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their lawful permanent resident status. Afshar is the niece of the late Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. The two women lived in the United States as green card holders until the termination of their legal status. The administration took this action because Afshar reportedly supported the Iranian regime and celebrated attacks on Americans. Both women are now in ICE custody and face removal from the country. This move follows a policy to stop supporters of anti-American regimes from living in the United States.
