ICE Arrests Former IRGC Member, Army Sniper in Wake of Iran Strike

Eleven Iranian nationals have been arrested in the last 48 hours by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across eight different states and nine cities, according to CBS News. This development comes in the wake of a nationwide security alert issued after the U.S. carried out a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities this past weekend.

...

One of the individuals arrested is Mehran Makari Saheli, who is a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). ICE arrested Saheli at his home in Minnesota where he "admitted connections to Hezbollah," an Iranian-funded terrorist organization.

...

On Sunday, authorities also arrested Ribvar Karmi in northern Alabama, where they discovered an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card in his possession. According to federal law enforcement, Karmi is a former Iranian Army sniper who served from 2018 to 2021 and entered the United States in 2024.

...

A man by he name of Yousef Mehridehno was also arrested just outside Jackson, Mississippi, 4 months after being placed on the U.S. known or suspected terrorist list.

...

ICE reported that five of the individuals arrested had prior criminal convictions, including charges such as grand larceny, drug offenses, and multiple charges of unlawful firearm possession.

None of the individuals apprehended have been directly tied to known terrorist plots or explicit threats to national security. Still, the far more unsettling question remains: how many potential sleeper cells are already embedded within the United States, and how many were able to slip in due to the open border policy of former President Joe Biden?

Hard to believe that all the places these scum bags lived in were at one time such sleepy, wholesome, Christian, apple pie towns.

Former IRGC Mehran Makari Sahel was ordered deported on June 28, 2022 but never left the US. He has been living in St Paul, Minnesota.

“...ICE arrested Saheli at his home in Minnesota...”

Just because he shelters in Minnesota doesn’t mean it’s his home. His real home is in a cave located in Iran.

He should be transported back to Persia, in a box. /spit

It would be better if they were killed in a shootout. Save a ton of time. Cardboard box and to the crematorium.

I agree... Just like Slim Pickens riding one down the pipe.
