United States authorities have taken action in a high-profile immigration case involving relatives of Qassem Soleimani.
Officials confirmed that the US arrests Soleimani relatives in Los Angeles following the revocation of their residency status.
The individuals are currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
According to the U.S. Department of State, the move is part of broader immigration enforcement measures.
Marco Rubio stated that the individuals are pending removal from the United States.
He said the government will not allow the country to serve as a safe haven for those linked to hostile regimes.
Authorities allege that the individuals expressed support for Iran’s military structure.
They also claim the suspects made statements critical of the United States.
The case comes amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran.
Officials say the crackdown is part of efforts to strengthen national security during ongoing geopolitical conflict.
The development follows similar actions taken against other foreign nationals in recent months.
US authorities have also tightened visa rules and residency checks for individuals linked to adversarial governments.
The situation remains under review as legal and diplomatic implications continue to unfold.
