US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested 130 Iranian citizens over the past week, as Washington is increasingly afraid about possible retaliation on American dirt after last week's Iran bombing campaign, reports Fox News.
Less than a week ago, the US joined Israel's military run and attacked 3 major atomic facilities in the muslim Republic.Earlier this week, Tehran responded with a rocket fire aimed at an American military base in Qatar, shortly before the announcement of the ceasefire.The White home expressed concern about possible sleeper cells activated in the US, said Fox on Thursday.
The Department of Homeland safety (DHS) issued a newsletter informing about "environment of increased risk" shortly after the US attacks.Some of the arrested Iranians have a criminal record, and at least 1 late served in the Iranian military, according to ICE sources cited by this medium.
At least 670 Iranian citizens are presently in custody of the ICE pending immigration proceedings.According to DHS, erstwhile Iranian soldier Ribvar Karimi emigrated to the US last year on the basis of a visa granted to foreigners engaged to American citizens.
However, after marrying his partner, he did not update his immigration position and was arrested in Alabama the day after the attacks on Iran.Karimi supported US president Donald Trump and his immigration policy, according to his pregnant wife Morgan Karimi, who spoke to Newsweek on Wednesday.ICE manager Tom Homan said Trump's position on immigration is peculiarly important "now in conflict with Iran".
Speaking on Wednesday in Pod Force 1 podcast, he said the administration of erstwhile president Joe Biden "created the largest gap in national safety I have always seen."On Monday, the United States ultimate Court ruled in favour of the Trump administration, which permits the deportation of migrants to 3rd countries despite erstwhile legal objections to this policy.
