Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.
In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.
Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.
America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.
There is/was never a genocide in Gaza. The opposite actually, one side (Israel) vaccinating, feeding, helping with all services (medical, drinking water, power) while taking extraordinary steps to protect civilians in the worst urban warfare scenario arguably ever seen and the other side (Hamas) doing everything it can to get civilians killed, stealing food, targeting civilians that do not do their demands. The mayor is a liar and worse.
The VP owes Israel and millions of its American supporters an apology. The Iranian terrorist regime rejected the MOU as it has undermined all agreements and deals. Iran killed it, not some "influence operation." It's called logic, experience, and knowledge.
I wrote about how Turkey, which was admitted into NATO as a way of blocking Soviet expansion at the start of the Cold War, has become the cuckoo in the NATO nest.
Its unhinged, Islamist leadership is engaged in a neo-Ottoman project in the Middle East that is deeply hostile to western interests.
Yet Trump, who has never met a strongman he doesn’t fancy, is infatuated with Erdogan. So NATO is meeting in Ankara this week, where Trump is expected to give Turkey a load of F-35s, compromising allied security.
My @Telegraph column today:

Today we have called on the United Nations to waive all immunity for UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini—whose terms ends today—to allow his indictment for complicity in terrorism, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Lazzarini cannot claim he didn't know. We have all the receipts.
PERSPECTIVE
Not only haven’t we armed the Iranian people, we’re actually strengthening the regime internally with hundreds of billions of dollars and other huge concessions making it virtually impossible to be overthrown from within or collapse from our previous crushing military offensive and economic blockade. We don’t even mention the Iranian people anymore.
We’re also legitimizing the Iranian regime not just in the region but internationally through diplomacy generally, as well as direct diplomacy with the regime, and now direct military-to-military contacts with the IRGC, the equivalent of the Nazi SS, which we treat as a breakthrough.
At the same time, we’re isolating our ally Israel, who valiantly fought by our side when we launched this war just a few months ago, undermining its defenses including via protections for Hezbollah, F-35s planned for Turkey, and hundreds of billions for Iran, as well as publicly ridiculing its Churchillian prime minister in the lead up to its election, which is intended to defeat him, while praising the genocidal Iranian regime and surrounding Islamist regimes, in one of the most shocking flips in military and diplomatic history.
Israel is a separate country. Agree. Its interests do not always align with ours. Agree. Israel was left out of the MOU negotiations and is not a signatory. OK. But damn it, it better accept and comply with every damn word of it, even if it means accepting Hezbollah on its border shooting missiles and drones into its country. Uh, what?
Why aren’t ballistic missiles banned in the MOU? Why aren’t they even mentioned? They’re the most powerful conventional weapon Iran has in its arsenal and each missile can kill thousands and take down entire neighborhoods. They’re also used for carrying nuclear warheads.
Because the Iranian regime refuses to abandon them and will supply them to Hezbollah. This is crazy.
65 hours ago, the Rape Gang Inquiry exposed that some 250,000 British girls were raped by Islamists in the most grotesque manner.
Since it was released, Cenk Uygur has posted about Israel 39 times.
In that same time, he’s mentioned the rape of young girls 0 times.
This is the face of a man with integrity.
He may look defeated, and understandably so. The deal that was reached and signed is 1,000% something Marco Rubio would never support if he were the one in charge.
But he is also a patriot. He respects the administration. He understands the chain of command.
Hang in there, Marco.
In a couple of years, you may get your chance.
The U.S.-Iran war ended exactly like Game of Thrones.
We spent months theorizing insane 4D chess plots and epic endings only for it to fizzle out in the most hilariously underwhelming, budget-cut finale no one saw coming.
