Federal agents have arrested eleven Iranian foreign nationals in a 48-hour crackdown on illegal immigration, including one watchlisted individual, as part of targeted operations in eight states and nine cities. Among those arrested was Mehran Makari Sahel in St. Paul, Minnesota, who is alleged to have connections to Hezbollah. Five of the arrested individuals had previous criminal convictions, and one had been living in the U.S. illegally for nearly 8 years. The arrests are not linked to specific terrorism plots, but officials say the individuals pose a threat to public safety. The crackdown is part of the Trump administration's efforts to increase immigration arrests, with a target of 3,000 arrests per day.
