Popular social media personality arrested by ICE in LA
ICE says Farzad Toutouni has a lengthy criminal history and will remain in custody while removal proceedings continue.
- On October 27, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested social media personality Farzad "Tony" Toutouni in Los Angeles. The Iranian citizen has more than 1 million Instagram followers.
- According to ICE, Toutouni entered the United States legally in 1983 before deportation to Mexico in 1999. He allegedly reentered illegally in 2011 near Saint Clair, Michigan, crossing a river on an electric raft purchased in Canada.
- ICE officials state the "crime spree" began in 1989, involving forgery, kidnapping, robbery, and extortion. Toutouni was previously sentenced to more than 16 months for grand theft of access cards and conspiracy to commit crime.
- An immigration judge ordered his removal from the country 10 years after his 1999 deportation, though he was not removed at that time. Toutouni now remains in ICE custody pending current removal proceedings.
- Known for his large Instagram following, Toutouni frequently shares photos featuring high-end cars and luxury aircraft. This digital persona contrasts sharply with the criminal history and immigration violations detailed by federal authorities.
