Top diplomat Marco Rubio strips Qassem Soleimani’s niece of US residency

Shit, Stalin’s granddaughter lives in Seattle

The US has a long history of accepting the family members of dictatorships figureheads, for example the ones related to Venezuela. We talk shit about Trump, but if you have money, you can always go to the US.

They should all be removed and sent home to enjoy the fruits of their family’s

Even Kim Jong-Un was in Switzerland for a while. And there are rumors his father took him to Disney land.

Exactly. They created hell for us people in iran, but refuse to let their own families live in it. So called anti west paradise is so shit that their own families live in luxury in the west. All while we are told from the age of 7 to shout death to the USA in schools. No one can even fathom the hatred people have for these fuckers.

Damn so I guess America can't be that bad if they're over here

I think the same goes for a lot of children and family members of politicians in communist countries

They hate this country so much that they refuse to leave the United States.

Same thing in the UK Family members of dictators, despots, oligarchs, autocrats and their followers come over here for university all the time

If you keep your shit together and your head down you can remain a US citizen, generally speaking, but you can't be screaming jihad and cheering death to Americans and expect us to laugh aboout it.

Maybe they shouldn't be

US is the only place where the US won’t bomb, it’s the best place to live

In the movie 'blackhawk down', the real lifr african warlord they were fighting had a son serving in the us marines at the time.  

There's irony. Aren't they supposed to be diehard defenders of Islam? What are they doing living in the US then? *smirks.*

Right? It’s so odd. We’re the western demon but they all have wives, kids, and girlfriends stashed over here.

No no no... satin! She likes living and bumming around in satin. Because, silky-smooth-satin is great.

Everyone hates the West until they have to go back to wherever it is they’re from. 

The Greatest Satan. Some say the best greatest Satan with the likes of which no one has ever seen.

Rubio didn’t claim that SHE called our country the ‘Great Satan’, but that THE IRANIAN REGIME called our country the ‘Great Saran’. You have to be in the lookout for bullshit from him.

“She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the ‘Great Satan’.” So no freedom of speech for legal resident ? I'm curious at the legal base he used to strip people of their nationality, it's a really concerning move.

I heard his parents weren't even citizens. Weird guy to be against birthright citizenship.

Eh, I suspect they'll just burn Vance and wait until 32.

I hope so. He seems vastly saner than Vance.

Rightfully so

Same reasoning why a lot of vocal Putin simps don't actually live in Russia.

Right? So hypocritical.

But the daugther of Soleimani ,Narjes Soleimani, says the have absolutely no relation or connection to Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and his daugther. If you go to her personal website listed on her instagram "hamideafshar" on The Wayback Machine, it's literally just a page of support to Reza Pahlavi 193,000 people worldwide have the surname “Soleimani” .About 190,000 are in Iran. His website on his instagram : [https://web.archive.org/web/20260404175328/https://afsharwear.com/](https://web.archive.org/web/20260404175328/https://afsharwear.com/) It seems they deported a woman and her daughter from the Iranian diaspora who opposed the regime. If someone is Soleimani's niece, it means she is the daughter of one of his brothers. He had two brothers: one never married and died at 27 without children, and the other, Sohrab Soleimani, had five children, all of whom are known members of the Iranian government. If Sohrab Soleimani and Narjes Soleimani, who would be her father and sister, do not care about her at all and claim not to know her, and she has a different last name, such as Hamideh Soleimani Afshar instead of Narjes Soleimani, and appears older than Sohrab Soleimani’s daughters, is she really related to them at all?

Almost as weird mocking Europe the whole time and sending their children to Universities in Europe. But no American would ever do that! Right? Right...

Hate us cuz they ain’t us

B/c they wanna enjoy the perks and privileges of living in the U.S, plain and simple. DHS wants to revoke their status b/c the mom visited Iran 4x after her asylum case was approved (why would you visit the country you’re trying to “escape”?).

I don't get it either but even a good portion of American citizens do it too it's mind boggling. For as much as everyone hates it sure seems comfortable.

Leeching and Fifth Column.

It's the exact same situation in most hostile states. This is easy to understand, regardless of one’s views on the world, war and instability are always bad. Therefore, their children to a safe place is the natural thing to do.

Just because someone is related to somebody else, doesn't mean that they have to agree with them. Also, someone above has commented that these people might not actually be related to anyone in the Iranian regime, they just share a surname, and potentially have publicly expressed views *against* the Iranian regime.

How can someone related to someone saying America first be enriching themselves? It's a slogan meant for influence and control. 

That's basically one of the reasons she doesn't live in Iran. Because having money, she could have lived an easy life in Iran. 

Because they wanted this to be a rallying cry instead of the understandable skepticism about this not changing a goddamn thing about the war.

They're desperately trying to convince themselves this is some sort of victory.

He will be given a free golden visa.

I think people are conflating two things in this story. The younger woman active on social media is the daughter, I don't think she's been accused of voicing support for the regime. It's her mother that they're saying has. Not sure why the daughter is "guilty" by association though, seems like she's pretty much internalized American lifestyle by everything I've seen.

I think you’re confused. Netanyahu is an ally of the US

Of course Al Jeazeera doesn't mention it, but the bigger legal issue for Hamideh Soleimani Afshar is she entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2015, claimed asylum which was granted in 2019, became a green card holder in 2021, and then proceeded to visit Iran 4 times between 2021-2025. Actual criteria for asylum in the U.S. is very narrow, and the crux of it is that the asylee cannot return to their home country due to fear of persecution. This woman began making repeated trips to Iran, a country for which she made a sworn declaration to the U.S. government as being unsafe for her to be, as soon as she was granted permanent residency, and the green card was only available to her because of her conditional legal status via her asylum claim. What happened to Hamideh Soleimani Afshar is the immigration equivalent of dominoes falling. If the federal government finds out you lied or misrepresented yourself on literally any part of your immigration paperwork up to, and including, naturalization, they can take steps to revoke your status and remove you from the country. Take away all the noise of who she is related to and the core issue is, was she a legitimate asylum seeker? Her own travel history indicates otherwise.

Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, green card holders can have their status revoked by the Secretary of State for national security interests. Multiple Supreme Court decisions have said that this affords them the right to file a *habeas* petition for review by the courts, but that deferral to the executive branch's decision is assumed.

So openly supporting a terrorist organization and having literal blood ties with one of the most prolific heads of said terorrist organization and celebrating US soldiers getting killed is free speech?

The social media posts don't even matter. They weren't the legal basis used for deportation. The legal reason was the visits to Iran. You can't claim asylum from a country and then keep going there for visits.

Why would you assume Iranians don’t know about this? It’s common knowledge.

She's not a citizen, and she's been caught being hostile towards America. Furthermore, residency can be terminated, as it has been for her.
