More details on some who were arrested.
ICE arrested 11 Iranian illegal migrants in the U.S. since Sunday. A U.S. citizen who threatened to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran was also arrested, according to ICE.
According to an ICE release, some of the arrests include:
1) Ribvar Karimi arrested in Locust, Alabama. Karimi reportedly served as an Iranian Army sniper from 2018 to 2021. He entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa, which is reserved for aliens engaged to be married to American citizens, in October 2024 under the Biden administration. Karimi never adjusted his status and is now removable, according to ICE.
2) Behzad Sepehrian Bahary Nejad was arrested by ICE Houston. He had a final order of removal and was carrying a loaded 9mm pistol when he was arrested, according to ICE. Sepehrian entered the U.S. in Houston on Dec. 9, 2016, on an F-1 student visa. On Aug. 19, 2017, Harris County police arrested him for assaulting a family member by impeding breathing. His wife told the local assistant district attorney that Sepehrian was threatening her and obtained a restraining order against him. In 2018, the University of Texas terminated Sepehrian’s status after he was placed on academic suspension.
3) Also in Houston, ICE arrested Hamid Reza Bayat, an Iranian national who was ordered removed by an immigration judge nearly 20 years ago. According to ICE, h was twice convicted of drug crimes and once convicted of driving on a suspended license.
4) Yousef Mehridehno was arrested in Gluckstadt, Mississippi. The U.S. government terminated Mehridehno’s residency in 2017 after determining he lied on his original visa application and committed potential marriage fraud. In February, Mehridehno was listed as a known or suspected terrorist.
In Arizona, ICE agents arrested Mehrzad Asadi Eidivand, an Iranian citizen with a final order of removal. At the same home, Linet Vartaniann, a U.S. Citizen was arrested for harboring the illegal migrant. Vartaniann threatened to open fire on ICE officials if they entered her home, then said she would go outside and “shoot ICE officers in the head," according to ICEICE arrested 11 Iranian illegal migrants in the U.S. since Sunday. A U.S. citizen who threatened to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran was also arrested, according to ICE.
Wow, they managed to find actual criminals?!
It was probably an accident.
Look closely through this thread and the other threads about illegal immigration. You will see hundreds of criminals who have been highlighted. And these are just a drop in the bucket.
Here’s a few more for your edification.
What is your point? Nobody s arguing for these people to stay. Nobody. Who are you arguing with?
Not arguing with anyone.
Proving that ICE does indeed arrest criminals to the idiots here who claim otherwise.
For every criminal, they are detaining 10 non-criminals.
See the problem?
Those criminals they have listed as being detained have mostly committed traffic violations and DUIs.
According to the government since this massive raid began here are some of the crimes the immigrants committed since October 2024 through May 2025
5,597 criminal aliens arrested so far. Since fiscal year starting October 1 2024 a total of about 200,00 have been detained.
Crime of illegal entry or reentry- 3,241
DUI, traffic violations - 1,038
Drugs trafficking 609
Domestic Violence assault 443
Robbery, theft, fraud. 264
Homicide, manslaughter. 14
Sexual offense - 86
Weapons - 84
In 2024 the ATF initiated 24,208 firearms cases. 7,432 were prosecuted.
The majority (96%) of individuals sentenced for federal firearms offenses were United States citizens.
So no, we are not safer now that ICE is running around Home Depot. Construction sites, meat packing factories, farms and restaurant kitchens rounding up people at their jobs.
Their first law breaking activity is entering illegally.
Many of those arrested have been previously arrested for other crimes. And others have been arrested for reentering after previous deportation.
They then they go and break another law.
You think DUI is no big deal??? Talk to some of the families whose lived ones have been killed by an illegal alien driving under the influence.

I don’t know why these people are continuing to show up for their immigration appointments. At this point, it’s safer if they don’t show up and just move to another state with no forwarding address.
This would make them a felon.

I could not and would not be a line attorney in this DOJ administration. I don’t think I could ethically defend many of these actions. Time to move on.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.
That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.
On immigration generally, he's at 41-57

And the Supreme Court, on multiple cases, affirmed that simply being in the country illegally does not constitute a crime.
And there is a law being enforced now, requiring all aliens to register with the government. Failure to register is a felony offense.
There is no such federal law. Immigration is a federal jurisdiction matter, not state.
