Trump Administration Revokes Green Cards, Detains Iranian Nationals: A Crackdown on Regime Supporters

The Trump administration has revoked green cards and visas for at least four Iranian nationals linked to their government, with two now detained and facing deportation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the decision this week, stripping their legal status after years in the U.S.

Immigration agents recently apprehended Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter, relatives of the late Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, in Los Angeles. They had been living in the U.S. while supporting the Iranian regime and criticizing America online.

Rubio accused Afshar of celebrating attacks on Americans and referring to the U.S. as the Great Satan. Her husband was also banned from entering the country. The State Department stated that this move is part of an effort to prevent supporters of anti-American terror regimes from entering the U.S.

This action follows previous moves, such as revoking visas from the daughter of Irans former security chief and her husband, as well as several diplomats at Irans U.N. mission in early December. None of these individuals are currently in the country.

These measures intensify pressure on Tehran ties and demonstrate the administrations firm stance on national security, with no safe haven for regime backers.
