US EditionUS arrests 11 Iranians in US illegally, Homeland Security says
- Over a 48-hour period ending June 22, 2025, federal agents conducted operations across eight states resulting in the detention of eleven Iranian individuals, one of whom appeared on a U.S. terrorist watchlist.
- The arrests occurred in the wake of recent American military actions targeting Iran's nuclear sites and amid intensified efforts by the Trump administration to clamp down on alleged Iranian operatives.
- Among those taken into custody, Ribvar Karimi reportedly served as a sniper with the Iranian Army between 2018 and 2021 and arrived in the United States in October 2024 on a K-1 visa intended for fiancés of U.S. citizens.
- DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated that they are removing the most dangerous individuals and highlighted their commitment to taking proactive enforcement measures rather than waiting for military operations.
- These arrests illustrate heightened U.S. security efforts amid concerns over Iranian proxy networks and potential retaliatory attacks, although no specific credible threats have been confirmed.
