The Trump administration delivered a powerful blow to Iranian terror networks Friday when Secretary of State Marco Rubio stripped the green cards from two relatives of the late Qassem Soleimani — Iran's most feared military commander — and had them arrested the same night.
Federal agents arrested the niece and grandniece of the deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander after Rubio revoked their lawful permanent resident status, the State Department confirmed Saturday. The swift action demonstrates the Trump-Vance administration's no-nonsense approach to Iranian terror operatives and their networks operating on American soil.
Social media erupted with news of the arrests, as @StoriesWor57662 reported: "JUST IN: U.S. federal agents arrest the niece & grandniece of the late Iranian military leader, Soleimani, after Rubio revoked their Green Cards." Another user, @futball_surgery, confirmed the details: "The arrest comes after the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, revoked their lawful permanent resident status, the state department said on Saturday."
This decisive action marks a stark contrast to the Biden regime's weak-kneed approach to Iranian terror networks. While the previous administration allowed Iran's proxies to operate with impunity, President Trump and Secretary Rubio are sending a clear message: America will no longer tolerate Iranian operatives — or their families — enjoying the privileges of U.S. residency.
Soleimani, who was eliminated in a precision drone strike ordered by President Trump during his first term, was responsible for the deaths of countless American servicemembers and innocent civilians across the Middle East. His terrorist network stretched across multiple continents, making this latest move to target his family members a logical extension of America's war on terror.
The timing couldn't be more significant. As Iran continues its destabilizing activities across the region and threatens American interests, the Trump administration is proving that blood ties to terror masterminds won't be tolerated on American soil.
This is what real leadership looks like, Patriots. While the Deep State spent four years coddling America's enemies, President Trump and Marco Rubio are taking the gloves off. How many more Iranian operatives are hiding in plain sight, and will this administration finally clean house?
