"The three Iranians arrested, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son, were based in the Los Angeles area, and are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
"Hashemi, the State Department said, is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, who gained fame as a spokeswoman for militants who stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979 in support of the Islamic Revolution."
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on social media that the Obama Administration had granted visas to Ebtekar's son and his family to enter the U.S. They received lawful permanent residency in June 2016."
""America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.""
The U.S. Department of State canceled the green cards of three Iranian nationals, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son, citing ties to a leading propagandist for violent Islamists. They were arrested in Los Angeles and are now in custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This action is part of a broader immigration crackdown by the Trump administration targeting Iranians with alleged connections to the Islamic Regime. Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized the previous administration for granting them residency.
