Seldom has “good riddance” tripped more easily from the tongue.
It’s gratifying to see the Trump Administration expel foreign nationals who enjoy US freedom while cheering US enemies.
In recent weeks, The California Post has reported extensively on Iranian nationals — mostly, the pampered relatives of regime elites in Tehran — living posh lives in the United States.
It can also be a threat to national security.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio gets that, and has systematically revoked the green cards of foreign visitors linked to US foes. Good.
The State Department announced more (pending) expulsions on Saturday, — after authorities nabbed Seyed Eissa Hashemi, the son of a propagandist dubbed “Screaming Mary” for her vile anti-US rhetoric.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – 2026/03/15: Pro-Iranian regime British-Iranians hold aloft posters of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who was killed in the joint US-Israeli attack. Many thousands congregated in Central London… SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images The mouthpiece mom, Masoumeh Ebtekar, was a shameless flack for the militants who kidnapped 52 Americans from the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held them captive for 444 days.
And now her family lives — lavishly — in the lap of the same “Great Satan” she long and loudly despised?
Foreign nationals who condemn America, promote US enemies, and ally with those who would destroy the West have no business living in the United States.
So it’s great that Trump & Co. have yanked green cards for the kin of Iranian menaces, including:
The niece and grand-niece of the late Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani.
Three members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
And the daughter of Iran’s former national security adviser.
Consider, for a moment, the case of Soleimani’s niece.
The feds accused Hamideh Soleimani Afshar of spreading Iranian propaganda, cheering attacks on US forces, lauding Iran’s new Supreme Leader, and (of course) blasting America as the “Great Satan” — all from the comfort of LA.
It makes one wonder, doesn’t it? If they truly believe the US is the “GS,” then why settle and make a life here?
Such hypocrisy is hardly new, with a trail of other cases stretching back years. But a lack of novelty doesn’t make the conduct any less repugnant.
These elites’ posh US lives are also an insult to Iranian Americans and the people of Iran who despise a cruel regime that has tormented and oppressed them for decades.
In December and January, Iran’s government slaughtered thousands of Iranians for demanding freedom and regime change.
Many proud Iranian Americans, including those in “Tehrangeles” in West LA, have relatives who continue to live under brutal conditions back in Iran.
Those allied with Iran’s regime terrorists have no place here. Kudos to Rubio for expelling them.
