From Breitbart: The number of Iranians arrested by ICE since the U.S. military action on Iran’s nuclear sites may soon pale in comparison to the arrest of those who may have entered the United States legally but are currently at some stage in the removal process. According to a recent social media post by reporter Ali Bradley, there are nearly 6,000 Iranian nationals who are inside the United States and are identified as removable or will soon become removable, who ICE is not currently detaining.
According to Bradley, the data she exclusively obtained from DHS sources shows nearly 1,300 of the almost 6,000 Iranian nationals on the ICE non-detained docket have criminal convictions. The information reveals that 2,970 Iranian nationals have final orders of removal, and approximately half of the overall number are in the removal process, pending final orders of removal.
The non-detained docket maintained by U.S. Immigration and Customs officials can include foreign nationals who entered the United States legally but later violated conditions of entry, resulting in the aliens being placed into removal proceedings. When an alien is placed on ICE’s non-detained docket, it does not necessarily mean the alien is not detained; it merely signifies the alien is not detained in an ICE facility.
Bradley wrote, “There are currently 5,840 Iranian nationals on ICE’s non-detained docket and nearly 1,300 of them have criminal convictions–According to data I just obtained via DHS sources. 2,790 have final orders of removal—3,050 are pending final orders. The vast majority (2,460) listed Los Angeles as their destination.”

On Friday, Customs and Border Protection announced:
CBP executed a federal search warrant today at a human smuggling hub in Los Angeles tied to national security threats. Two individuals were arrested during the operation, which was led by CBP’s Special Response Team with support from Border Patrol tactical units and Air and Marine Operations.
Earlier this week, seven Iranian nationals were arrested at the same address—including individuals on the FBI Terror Watchlist and associates of an Iranian human trafficking network. The location has been repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to terrorism.
Under @POTUS, CBP is taking aggressive action to shut down smuggling networks and remove national security threats before they can do harm.
