Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked the green cards of foreign nationals with links to the "Iranian terror regime," the State Department said on Saturday.

"Last night, the niece and grand niece of deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s termination of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status," the department said in a statement.

"Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran," the department also said.

The department said she promoted Iranian regime propaganda while living in the United States and "celebrated attacks against American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian Supreme Leader, denounced America as the 'Great Satan,' and voiced her unflinching support for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terror organization."

Afshar’s husband has been blocked from entering the United States as well.

"Afshar Soleimani pushed this propaganda for Iran's terrorist regime while enjoying a lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles, as attested to by her frequent posting on her recently deleted Instagram account," the agency also said.

The U.S. Department of State applauded the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for collaborting with them on the effort to revoke the visas.
