US agents arrest niece of Iran's Qassem Soleimani after Rubio revoked green card

U.S. federal agents have arrested the niece ‌and grand-niece of late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani after Secretary ⁠of State Marco Rubio revoked their lawful permanent resident status, the State Department said on Saturday.

"Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her ‌daughter ⁠are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs ⁠Enforcement," the State Department said in a ⁠statement after Rubio revoked their green ⁠cards.
