Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, 47, and her daughter Sarinasadat Hosseiny, 25, were detained by ICE on Friday while living in the City of Angels. 

Afshar had celebrated the deaths of US soldiers during President Donald Trump's ongoing war with Iran, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

Rubio added that the permanent resident status that allowed them to live indefinitely in the United States was revoked and that they will be deported at the first available opportunity. 

He wrote: 'Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. 

'Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the "Great Satan." 

'This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter's legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security told Fox News that Afshar entered the US in June 2015 on a tourist visa. Hosseiny came with her mother but on a student visa. In 2019, a judge then granted both women asylum and in 2021, they became green card holders.
