Inside secret SoCal lives of niece, grandniece of Iranian Gen. Soleimani before they were arrested by ICE in dramatic raid
NY Post ^ | 4/04/26 | David Thompson, Daniel Farr

The stunned Los Angeles renter of the property owned by the niece of Iranian terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani said he now realizes the mom and her daughter had been on ICE’s radar for some time before agents swooped on the quiet Tujunga home and hauled the pair away.

Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, 47, and her daughter, Sarinasadat Hosseiny, 25, were arrested by ICE Friday and had their green cards revoked for ties to the Iranian regime.

Afshar had celebrated attacks on US soldiers and military facilities, praised Iran’s Supreme Leader, called America the “Great Satan,” and voiced support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terror organization, according to the State Department.

Piano instructor Halasius Bradford, 50, who rents a single-story property owned by Afshar, said the women were taken into custody in dramatic scenes about 5 p.m. Friday. He said ICE had been active in the streets leading up to the arrests.

Bradford said he was driving back to the property during the raid and arrived to find the street blocked off by ICE vehicles and three LAPD patrol cars.

“It was crazy seeing what happened. I saw three LAPD patrol cars and one or two from ICE,” he told the Post.

“I didn’t see the women being taken away.”

The Post’s visit to the home on Saturday revealed Afshar was living in a small ADU behind the main two-bedroom, two-bathroom home Bradford rents. She had bought the Plainview Avenue property for $505,000 in 2021.

Photos from the scene offer a glimpse into the women’s carefully curated Los Angeles lifestyle.

“I wonder what the monthly rent was for the “house” and where her money came from?”

I’ll wager it came from one of those pallets of cash Obama sent over there.

Hmmm. We can’t repatriate them to Iran as we’re at war with them. I wonder what is the most fundamentalist country we can deport them to. Send along the pictures of the daughter dressed like a whore and see what they make of that

Afghanistan should do the trick.
