Rubio said he terminated the visas of Ebtekar’s son, Eissa Hashemi, along with his wife and son, noting that they “should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country”.
Posting on X, Rubio disclosed that those affected are currently in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE, pending their deportation.
He wrote: “Masoumeh Ebtekar – also known as “Screaming Mary” – was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days – subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.
“In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
“This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.”
Rubio warned that the US would never become home for “anti-American terrorists or their families under the Trump Administration, it never will”.
