ICE Arrests Alleged Iranian Army Sniper Illegally in US; Details of Discovery Are Alarming
WASHINGTON, D.C. — April 21, 2026
President Donald Trump is fulfilling his commitment to safeguard America from foreign dangers, both at the border and within the nation.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents apprehended Ribvar Karimi, an Iranian national who served four years as a sniper in the Iranian Army, during a multi-state enforcement operation in June 2025. Karimi was taken into custody in Locust Fork, Blount County, along with 11 other Iranian nationals. This represents the type of dangerous individual that radical open-border policies under Biden-Harris allowed into the country, and that President Trump is now removing.
While information regarding his release from custody is still emerging, the arrest itself conveys a stark message: America's adversaries—trained snipers from hostile regimes like Iran—have been present among us due to years of radical Democrat leniency at the border. This is not “compassion”; it is national self-destruction. Under Trump, this will cease.
The timing is not coincidental. As President Trump exerts maximum pressure on the Iranian regime—rejecting their unreasonable “10-point wish list” and maintaining the Strait of Hormuz open on American terms—ICE is taking action domestically. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Communications Director Steven Cheung have made it clear: Iranian propaganda and media falsehoods about fabricated deals will not be tolerated. Trump is negotiating from a position of strength, not weakness, and will only accept an agreement that prioritizes America First.
The radical left wants people to believe that enforcement actions like this are “cruel.” However, every patriotic American understands the truth: allowing Iranian army snipers to move freely while radical Democrats promote sanctuary policies is the real cruelty to American families. President Trump is reversing this irrationality.
This arrest is part of a broader enforcement effort. With FBI Director Kash Patel and a revitalized ICE, the rate of removals is increasing. Criminals, terrorists, and military-aged males from adversarial nations are being identified and removed. There will be no more catch-and-release. No more ignoring threats as they proliferate.
President Trump warned for years that open borders invite disorder, crime, and terrorism. The radical left labeled him xenophobic. Now, with Iranian snipers and other threats being apprehended, the American people can see who was correct all along.
The radical left’s unstable system—built on open borders, weak foreign policy, and media propaganda—is collapsing. While they advocate for “human rights” for illegal Iranian snipers, President Trump is safeguarding American sovereignty and American lives.
We are succeeding at the border. We are succeeding against Iran. We are succeeding for a safe and sovereign America.
MAGA supports every ICE agent and Border Patrol hero who risks their lives to keep us safe. President Trump promised to put America First—and he is delivering, one arrest, one deportation, and one rejected Iranian demand at a time.
The period of weakness is over. The era of strength has returned. And threats like Iranian army snipers will no longer find refuge in the United States under President Trump’s leadership.
