In a recent crackdown, ICE has arrested a total of 111 Iranian nationals in just 48 hours across the United States, citing concerns over sleeper cell activities. The arrests come as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate.
According to officials, the individuals taken into custody are suspected of having ties to the Iranian government and potentially posing a national security threat. While the exact details of the arrests have not been disclosed, ICE has stated that the operation was part of an ongoing effort to address threats from foreign adversaries.
The arrests have sparked debate among lawmakers and experts, with some speculating that the individuals may have been involved in espionage or terrorist activities. The Trump administration has ramped up efforts to combat threats from Iran in recent months, including the termination of the Iran nuclear deal and the deployment of additional troops to the Middle East.
As tensions between the two nations continue to rise, ICE's actions send a clear message that the United States is taking proactive measures to protect its national security interests.
