Immigration agents collared 11 Iranian illegal migrants — including suspected terrorists — over the weekend in eight states as the Border Patrol warned of “possible sleeper” cells in the US.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement nabbed former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps member Mehran Makari Sahel, who has “admitted connections” to the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, according to CBS News.
He was busted near St. Paul, Minnesota.
Yousef Mehridehno, whose name appears on the terrorist watchlist, was arrested by ICE outside Jackson, Mississippi, according to the outlet. Feds discovered that Mehridehno lied on a visa application after he had already been living in the country illegally for eight years.
ICE agents also arrested Ribvar Karmi in northern Alabama on Sunday and found he was carrying an Iranian Army ID card that revealed he was a sniper between 2018 and 2021, CBS reported.
Karmi entered the US in October 2024 on a K-1 visa for immigrants who are engaged to American citizens.
Five of the 11 Iranians swept up by ICE had previous criminal convictions that included grand larceny and drug and firearm possessions, according to CBS News.
“Under Secretary Noem, DHS has identified and arrested known or suspected terrorists and violent extremists that illegally entered this country, came in through Biden’s fraudulent parole programs or otherwise,” DHS said in an X post Tuesday.
*** Under the Biden administration, more than 700 Iranian migrants who crossed the border illegally were released into the US, according to Fox News.
CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott cited “Iran’s hatred for the United States and their desire to harm America and Americans,” in Saturday’s memo to border agents.
“Over the past four years, thousands of Iranian nationals have been documented entering the United States illegally and countless more were likely in the known and unknown got-a-ways,” Scott wrote. ***

The moment the Mullahs threatened to attack the U.S. with sleeper cells, every Iranian immigrant, including those here legally, should be deported.
They’re here, armed and just waiting for their “go orders”. They’ll go after “soft targets”, so BE AWARE if you’re at such a place. Carry extra mags if you CCW.
Why do they feel safe in Minnesota Ilhan Omar?
I would suggest people watch Sarah Adams podcasts. She estimates 1,000-1,500 ISIS members in the US in 10 person teams who are planning to fight to the death.
While I was booking a flight for July 4th I thought maybe I should pay a bit more and fly on July 5th. My Scottish heritage won out so I will be flying on the 4th.
Obama says we "can absorb that."
BTTT
The damage done by one Iranian nuke would be 1000,000 times worse than some local murders by sleeper cells. I like that ratio.
If there are sleeper cells imbedded in America they have been here since before Trump was reelected and Iran sent them here fully intending to use them when the time was right. (This itself would show they have already been at war with us.) I think people need to stop acting as if terrorists only react and are never proactive. They are not rabid dogs who will leave us alone if we just keep them happy and don’t antagonize them.
Now, at least, hopefully any Iranian sleeper cells won’t have access to nukes in the future.
Wearing body armor is a great idea also.
Most likely save you far more then extra mags.
Yup. I expect the most opportune date would be July 4th during evening fireworks displays, nationwide.
If anyone thinks the Mullahs Iranians are going to stop waving war against the U.S. or any of their perceived enemies they would, and eventually could be, dead wrong.
These battles have been going on since , oh, 700AD.Nothing is off the table for them
Some of those here legally are here in a safe zone to take over Iran after the mean mullah falls.
Correction: “waving” equals “waging”
Did anyone escape Evin prison after it got bombed?. did the bombs open the cell blocks?
‘perceived enemies’ = not Muslims.
Only 989 to go. (Of course, one must assume that some of the Iranians who sought asylum here are legitimate, but only the FBI knows for sure... Guffaw!)
Most Iranian immigrants here fled the mullahs and are on our side. But a minority of unknown size serve the mullahs.
A larger, more dangerous group are immigrants from Gaza.
That was my first thought also. I don’t have any info on that.
