The Department of Homeland Security arrested 11 Iranian nationals who are illegally in the U.S., including known or suspected terrorists, over the weekend, as reported by the DHS. Ribvar Karimi, one of those arrested, reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper and was caught with an Islamic Republic of Iran Army ID card.
A U.S. citizen was arrested for threatening ICE officers while harboring an illegal Iranian national, stating she would “shoot ICE officers in the head.”
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “We have been saying we are getting the worst of the worst out — and we are,” highlighting the focus on security amid rising tensions.
