US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested family members of Masoumeh Ebtekar, a spokesperson for students involved in the 1979 US Embassy takeover in Tehran, with deportation pending.

Relatives linked to Masoumeh Ebtekar, a figure from the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, have been detained by ICE after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their lawful permanent resident status.
