Trump’s ICE arrests niece and grand-niece of terrorist Qasem Soleimani in LA, exposing fraudulent asylum abuse by regime supporters living lavishly on American soil.

Story Highlights

ICE arrested Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, niece of slain IRGC Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, and her daughter on April 3, 2026, in Los Angeles after green card revocation.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their status due to fraudulent asylum claims and public anti-American advocacy, including celebrating attacks on U.S. forces.
Afshar disclosed four trips to Iran post-green card, contradicting her 2019 asylum persecution claims against the regime she supported.
Actions signal Trump administration’s firm crackdown on national security threats from adversarial regime affiliates exploiting U.S. generosity.

Arrest Details and Timeline

ICE agents arrested Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter in Los Angeles on April 3, 2026. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their green cards the prior day. Afshar entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in June 2015, gained asylum in 2019, and received her green card in 2021 under Biden. Her daughter followed with asylum in 2019 and green card in 2023. July 2025 naturalization filings revealed Afshar’s four trips to Iran since 2021, undermining asylum validity.

Fraudulent Claims and Regime Support

DHS determined both women fraudulently obtained asylum by posing as regime victims while actively supporting Iran. Afshar promoted regime propaganda on social media, celebrated attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East, and called America the “Great Satan.” She enjoyed a lavish Los Angeles lifestyle despite these actions. This hypocrisy directly threatened U.S. security, justifying swift revocation and arrest. Officials emphasized green cards as privileges, not rights for adversaries.

Official Statements and Broader Crackdown

Secretary Rubio posted that Afshar cheered American deaths while living luxuriously in LA. State Department affirmed America rejects hosting supporters of anti-American terrorist regimes. DHS spokesperson noted green cards revoke for threats. Earlier April 2026, State terminated status for Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, daughter of Iranian official Ali Larijani, and her husband. These moves enforce residency rules against ideological foes of liberty.

Afshar’s husband faces permanent U.S. entry ban. Both women remain in ICE custody facing deportation to Iran, separated from U.S. lives built on deception.

National Security Victory for America First

Qasem Soleimani, IRGC Quds Force commander killed in Trump’s 2020 drone strike, orchestrated attacks killing hundreds of Americans. His niece’s presence highlighted Biden-era laxity allowing regime kin to exploit asylum. Trump’s second-term policy restores order, prioritizing citizens over infiltrators. This deters foreign nationals from anti-American advocacy under U.S. protection, upholding sovereignty and common-sense security.

Conservatives applaud this enforcement amid frustrations with open borders and endless foreign entanglements. True MAGA demands America First: secure borders, no handouts to enemies, focus on domestic prosperity over regime change distractions.
