US Authorities Arrest Relatives of Late Iranian General Qassem Soleimani
US authorities have arrested the relatives of late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, who were living in Los Angeles. The arrests were made as part of a broader effort to revoke the green card residency status of Soleimani’s family members.
According to reports, US agents targeted several individuals who are believed to be related to Soleimani, including his niece and other relatives. The exact number of individuals arrested is not yet known.
The revocation of residency status was announced by US authorities earlier this week, citing national security concerns. The move has been seen as a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between the US and Iran.
The arrests were made at various locations across Los Angeles, with some reports suggesting that the individuals were taken into custody without warning. The exact circumstances surrounding the arrests are not yet clear.
US authorities have confirmed that the arrested individuals will be held in ICE custody pending further investigation. The move has been met with criticism from some quarters, who argue that it is an overreach of US authority and a breach of international law.
The situation remains fluid, with developments continuing to unfold. Further information is expected as the situation develops.
