ICE arrests Iranian nationals in Colorado Springs

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Iranian nationals Mahmoud Shafiei and Mehrdad Mehdipour in Colorado Springs on June 22, 2025.
The arrests followed prior encounters with immigration officials, including Shafiei’s convictions and removal orders dating back to 1981 and Mehdipour’s 2023 expedited removal near the Texas border.
Shafiei has a criminal history involving drug trafficking, assault, and child abuse, while Mehdipour has no recorded criminal offenses and the two lived together near Garden of the Gods Road.
ICE announced these arrests as part of a nationwide operation detaining 11 Iranians living illegally in the U.S., with statements emphasizing security awareness but advising the public not to live in fear.
Both men remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, reflecting continued enforcement efforts to address immigration violations among Iranian nationals in the United States.
