The US arrested the niece and grand niece of late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani on Saturday. Their green cards were also revoked, said Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday, reported Reuters.
State Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a statement, said the Trump Administration will not allow Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter to live in the US, claiming that they support anti-American terrorist regimes and that she is an outspoken supporter of Iran who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the “Great Satan."
“Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement," the State Department said in a statement after Rubio revoked their green cards, reported Reuters.
