ICE says Mehran Makari Saheli is an Iranian national, a convicted felon, a former member of Iran's IRGC, and has "admitted connections" to the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced they arrested a former member of the the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in St. Paul this weekend.
Mehran Makari Saheli was arrested on June 22 by federal officials. According to ICE, the 57-year-old Saheli was illegally present in the United States after an immigration judge ordered him to leave the country three years ago.
ICE says Saheli is an Iranian national, a convicted felon, a former member of Iran’s IRGC, and has “admitted connections” to the terrorist organization Hezbollah. A major component of the Iranian military, the IRGC contains Iran’s ground, naval, aerospace, and other forces.
“Saheli is now in ICE custody pending removal,” said the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The arrest of Saheli was one of several operations DHS conducted over the weekend which led to the apprehension of 11 Iranian nationals who were allegedly in the United States illegally. Iranian nationals were arrested in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota, Mississippi, New York, and Texas.
According to DHS, those arrested “include an individual with admitted ties to Hezbollah, a known or suspected terrorist, and an alleged former sniper for the Iranian army.”
Many of the apprehensions came the day after the United States launched a covert bombing mission that destroyed three Iranian nuclear facilities. That bombing was a part of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East between Iran and Israel. At publication time, Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire.
On Sunday, DHS issued a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin announcing a “heightened threat environment” due to the conflict.
In that advisory, the federal government warned that “low-level cyber attacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against US networks.”
DHS also warned that the “likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland.”
That advisory is in place through Sept. 22, 2025.
Of COURSE he was in Minnesota!!! Where else but with his friends Ellison and Walz!!
Biden and Obama are two of the greatest traitors in the history of our nation.
former member of Iran’s IRGC
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is a multi-service primary branch of the Iranian Armed Forces. It was established to safeguard the Islamic republic and has since become Iran’s dominant military force, with its own army, navy, air force, and intelligence. The IRGC is responsible for protecting the Islamic regime from internal and external threats, and it also controls the paramilitary Basij militia and runs the foreign special operations Quds force. Additionally, the IRGC is Iran’s primary instrument for exporting the ideology of the Islamic Revolution worldwide.

“I felt so at home in Minnesota. The wonderful Tim Walz, the influence of Ilhan Omar. The people who embrace anti-Americanism and defend terrorist rights like the Democrats in DC. I’ve never felt so much love.”
“an Iranian national, a convicted felon, a former member of Iran’s IRGC, and has “admitted connections” to the terrorist organization Hezbollah.”
“ordered him to leave the country three years ago”
This only exists because someone wanted it to.
Remember 9/11?
Nine months after the election, a big phookin baby pops out.
Now just finishing the second trimester.
Shiiite’s gonna happen.
Someone point out to the muzzle, it is St. Paul, not some imonville!
We can’t exactly call MN the garbage pit of the world - there’s enough competition for that but certainly of the USA would be appropriate..it seems to contain more than it’s share of garbage! We know of those in state/federal politics but how many others aren’t involved? A lot of Somalians and no doubt as nuts?
“””We can’t exactly call MN the garbage pit of the world “”
Minnesota is a very fine place. You are referring to Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan which is a huge schiffhole especially Omars district, MiniMogadishu.
here’s an idea: offer him a free one-way ticket to the Middleeast and strap his sorry ass to a cruise missile and send him to Iran courtesy of the USA!
Mehran was maybe in town to meet another loon, Keith Ellison, a former Catholic who converted to islam.
Thanks for posting.
How many more terrorists are in Minnesota, a state that was once synonymous with Swedish/Norwegian? Minnesota has become a sharia-friendly state now.
Somebody else for the Demoncrats to champion.
Make him talk...and roll up their network here in the homeland.
Along with Schwartz Gyorgy.
Wonderful idea.
By the end of the day a Biden judge will order him released.
And let’s not forget the brother lovin Illan Omar.
“””How many more terrorists are in Minnesota, a state that was once synonymous with Swedish/Norwegian? “”
The terrorists aren’t in Minnesota. They are in Minneapolistan.
