An Iranian army sniper and a suspected terrorist with ties to Hezbollah are among illegal migrants living in the US who have been arrested by ICE since Sunday.
Ribvar Karimi, who served as an Iranian Army sniper from 2018 to 2021, was arrested in rural Alabama, where he has been living with his American wife.
When ICE agents found in him in the town of Locust Fork Sunday, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card, DHS claimed.
Karimi entered the country legally on a K-1 visa, for foreigners engaged to be married to Americans, in October under the Biden administration.
He married his bride, Morgan Gardener, in January this year. However, Karimi failed to adjust his status, making his presence in the US illegal.
In Minnesota, agents nabbed Mehran Makari Saheli, 56, a former member of off the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps with admitted connections to Hezbollah, according to the Department of Homeland Security today.
He already had a conviction for felon in possession of a firearm and served 15 months in prison.

His wife. She marries a 56 year old A hezbollah. Terrorist. Ok lady.
“When you get there buy American flag first thing”
Is the media narrative going to be Alabama Husband “?
Don't give them any ideas.
Clean out all the vermin! All of them! This should’ve been done DECADES AGO!
After the FIRST bombing of the Twin Towers under Clinton, I told anyone that would listen that it was going to happen again and be much, MUCH worse. And it was,
There is no doubt in my Military Mind that our candy-@ZZ politicians have put America in GRAVE danger through their inaction on cleaning up immigration, realizing that every mosque is a SLEEPER CELL and AMMO CASH and that so much more should have been done, but hasn’t been. :(
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Even WITH President Trump currently at the helm (and look how hard-won that was!) you need to act and plan as if Mother Government doesn’t give a fig about you and yours. Because - she doesn’t!

Better send her back with him and adjust her citizenship so that the upcoming (soon) offspring is NOT a US citizen either.
That’s not how that works and you know it.
Morgan Gardner married the guy who failed to get a new visa-probably on purpose-Ribvar Karimi-not the terrorist connected guy Mehran Makari Saheli-who is 56. Either way, they both have terrorist ties-hope ICE gets them out of here fast...
Well, no longer shamed by Florida man, thank you Alabama.
Sarah Adams estimates 1,000-1,500 ISIS members in the US via legal means.
“ However, Karimi failed to adjust his status, making his presence in the US illegal.”
Marriage visa, green card, naturalization certificate. Pretty straightforward.
Why would an American woman marry an Iranian who was an immigrant to the US? Probably a dumb question but I can still question it..There’s been lots of stories in the past 20-30 years about American women losing their kids to husbands from those countries - kidnapping them, taking them back to their home countries, fighting to get them back. They apparently didn’t see them or believe them.
