Rubio Kicks Out Relatives Of Late Iranian Commander Soleimani Living In America

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that two relatives of the late Qasem Soleimani had their green cards revoked and were in custody.

Soleimani, a notorious commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a crucial figure in providing advanced IED components that were used against American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, was killed in a Jan. 2020 strike. The State Department said Soleimani’s niece and her daughter had been living a “lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles.”

“Last night, the niece and grandniece of deceased Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s termination of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status,” a statement released Saturday said. “Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran.”
