US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has taken into custody the niece and grand-niece of Qasem Soleimani, the deceased Iranian general.
This action raises questions regarding the implications for US-Iran relations and the operational capacity of ICE in handling cases involving foreign nationals.
The detainment may affect broader immigration policies and highlight the agency's focus on individuals with connections to foreign military figures.
