ICE arrested Eissa Seyed Hashemi, his wife Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son Seyed Mobin Hashemi in Los Angeles, California. Eissa Seyed Hashemi is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, an Iranian regime politician who also acted as a spokesperson during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979.
ICE law enforcement officers successfully apprehended all three individuals whose presence in the United States posed a clear threat to our national security and foreign policy.
On September 1, 2014, Hashemi entered the U.S. at the San Francisco International Airport on a F-1 student visa. In 2016, Hashemi, his wife, and son became green card holders. It is a privilege to be granted a green card to live in the United States of America. If we have reason to believe a green card holder poses a threat to the U.S., the green card will be revoked.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States will not be a safe haven for those who threaten our security or undermine our foreign policy.
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.
@UAEArmystan Without a doubt. His name is the only name being chanted inside Iran and amongst Iranians in the diaspora. #RezaPahlavi is the ONLY one we trust for #FreeIran
@JohnnyNash77 No other person but him is adequate enough to lead. He’s the only one Iranians are asking for inside Iran. #RezaPahvali is the only one they trust.
.@POTUS said the next leader of Iran should be someone from within the current regime, rather than Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the late shah.

@OANN The MEK is NOT who the people of Iran want. MEK is just as bad, if not worse than the IRGC and Mullahs. Only one the people trust is #RezaPahlavi
@RKOTOfficial To all those who say this is a war against Iran, wouldn’t it make sense for the people inside Iran to be scared and worried?? Yet they are happy and jubilant. That speaks volumes!!
#RezaPahlavi is the ONLY one the people inside of Iran has called for, he is the only one they trust to lead Iran to become a democratic state. #regimechengeiniran Will only happen with him.
A provisional list of opposition figures to be invited to the EU Parliament includes the son of the last Shah, who is endorsed by some MEPs from the right-wing ECR group. #EuropeNews

A brave local CBS reporter in Austin broke script tonight: “They don’t want us to focus on this… Well, I am.”
This is why you are not seeing massive pro‑Trump, anti‑regime Iranian crowds on TV. The Democrats’ foreign policy machine, NIAC and Trita Parsi types, and their friends in legacy media have spent years selling “engagement” with the Islamic Republic from comfy think tank chairs and New York Times bylines. They pose as experts, PhDs, and neutral journalists while lobbying for policies that help Tehran, not the Iranian people.
And it is not just the Left. Qatar money and access have also been working the Tucker Carlson, “no war with Iran” lane on the Right, shaping what some of the MAGA crowd hears about the region. Both sides’ are being influenced, from Ivy League campuses to D.C. think tanks and prime time shows, while while American national security and the security of the free world are put at risk. #Iran @marklevinshow@seanhannity
The world must watch and act.
Turning schools into press venues or security hubs during a war is a terrorist act . Using children as human shields constitutes a war crime and violates international humanitarian law.
Educational institutions are meant to be safe havens for children, not political stages or strategic shields. Any use of school grounds for security or military related activity risks placing innocent civilians directly in harm’s way.
The international community and human rights organizations must demand immediate transparency and independent verification.

My core concern with @JDVance comments is that he treats regime change in Iran as “incidental.” Iranians are not asking for reformists, or more mullahs. Inside Iran and in the diaspora, people have been chanting one name for a transitional leader: @PahlaviReza who has openly positioned himself to help lead a secular, democratic transition. Bombing nuclear sites while leaving the IRGC‑backed regime in place, and ignoring the transitional leadership Iranians themselves have named, risks repeating the pattern we saw with Hamas and Hezbollah: a “deal” for the West, and a death sentence for local opposition. #iran #RezaPahlavi @FoxNews@seanhannity@marklevinshow@LindseyGrahamSC and
@IsraelArmySpoof Reza Pahlavi is the only name the Iranian people, from inside Iran have ever said. #RezaPahlavi is who they trust to lead the transition. No one else.
