US authorities, under the Trump administration, have reportedly detained several Iranian nationals identified as relatives of deceased Iranian general Qasem Soleimani. These actions come amidst ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Reports indicate that some of those detained were living in Los Angeles. Their green cards, visas, and US residency have been revoked. Senator Marco Rubio was specifically cited in connection with stripping Soleimani's niece of her US residency. These individuals are described as having connections to the Tehran government.
The detentions and revocations are part of a broader effort by the US government. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
