U.S. federal agents arrested the niece and grandniece of Qasem Soleimani after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their lawful permanent resident status. The two, identified as Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter, are currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and face deportation. Officials allege Afshar showed “outspoken support” for Irans regime through social media activity.
