ICE Arrests 130 Iranian Nationals in Week-Long Security Sweep Under Trump Directive
Federal agents under a new Trump administration directive have been working overtime to protect our country. According to reports, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just arrested 130 Iranian nationals across the country in a single week.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reportedly arrested 130 Iranian nationals across the country within the last week as part of an intensified Trump administration initiative to locate and detain individuals considered potential security threats following the US’ strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
According to multiple federal sources cited by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, 670 Iranian nationals are currently being held in ICE detention facilities nationwide and that 130 were arrested in the last seven days.
This wave of arrests is just the start. Officials report that a total of 670 Iranian nationals are now in ICE custody. This is the direct result of what one former border official called “the biggest national security vulnerability we’ve ever seen.” The previous administration’s open-door policy created a crisis that President Trump is now forced to clean up.
These are not harmless immigrants. The details of who was arrested are terrifying. One man, a former member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), admitted to having connections with the Hezbollah terrorist group. Another was on the Terror Watchlist and had been living here illegally for eight years. Worst of all, authorities arrested a former Iranian military sniper who got into our country on a K-1 fiancé visa.
