NEW: The niece and grand-niece of slain Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani were reportedly living 'lavish' lifestyles in Los Angeles before being arrested by ICE.
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, the niece, had allegedly celebrated the Iranian attacks on US soldiers.
"While living in the United States, she promoted Iranian regime propaganda, 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," the State Department said.
Afshar, 47, was granted asylum in 2019 and received a green card from the Biden administration in 2021.
The grand-niece of Soleimani, Sarinasadat Hosseiny, 25, entered the US in 2015 on a student visa and later became a green card holder.
Her now-deleted Instagram showed her clubbing in Miami, spending time in Alaska, and partying in Las Vegas, according to the New York Post.
"The daughter lives in Hollywood. The boyfriend told me that he and Sarina were driving outside the house when they were cut up by ICE cars. He said the agents were demanding to know where the mother was," a neighbor said.
