Secretary Rubio Orders Arrest of Soleimani Relatives for Iranian Propaganda in Los Angeles

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the arrest of two relatives of slain Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Los Angeles. According to the Los Angeles Times, federal authorities detained Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, Soleimani's niece, and her daughter Sarinasadat Hosseiny on Friday. The State Department revoked their green cards, accusing them of promoting Iranian regime propaganda while living a lavish lifestyle in the United States. The State Department's news release states that Afshar celebrated attacks on American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised Iran's new Supreme Leader, called America the Great Satan, and supported the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the United States designates as a terrorist organization. Afshar's husband has also been barred from entering the country. News On Air reports that both women are now in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Rubio emphasized that the United States will not permit foreign nationals who support anti-American regimes to remain in the country. This action is part of a broader effort targeting relatives of Iranian officials, as noted by the State Department. ABC7 coverage highlights Rubio's statement on social media about their promotion of Iranian propaganda and celebration of attacks on Americans. Fox News mentioned Rubio recently commenting on NATO, suggesting the United States may need to reexamine membership after allies blocked basing and airspace help, but the Soleimani relatives case dominates headlines from the last few days.
