U.S. Immigration, Customs, & Enforcement issued the following statement.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 11 Iranian nationals illegally in the United States over the weekend. ICE also arrested a U.S. citizen who threatened to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran. The weekend arrests reflect the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) commitment to keeping known and suspected terrorists out of American communities....
On June 22, in Gluckstadt, Mississippi, ICE officers and agents arrested Yousef Mehridehno, an Iranian national and former lawful permanent resident. The U.S. government terminated Mehridehno’s residency in October 2017 after determining he lied on his original visa application and committed potential marriage fraud. In February, Mehridehno was listed as a known or suspected terrorist, and he’s now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. Rest of statement.
Kingfish note: Mehridehno owns a home on Highway 51 in Madison County.
Update (5:30 PM): Getting chatter this guy was here on expired paperwork but was not on the terrorist suspect list. People in his church are supposedly vouching for him. He is a member of First Baptist Church in Madison. Would he be able to qualify for asylum as a Christian?

Locky loady
And people say Jackson is dangerous....
LEO has been to that address a few times. Wonder why citizen status wasn't verified or investigation pursued.
1 mile from the Muslim Assoc. building. Lots of potential conspiracy theories here.
Well dang, maybe I should’ve bought a house in Brandon instead!
Also if they knew since 2017 that he was suspected terrorist, why is he just now being arrested 8 years later? He just got to roam around Madison county illegally for 8 years???
He was a church greeter at a large local church for years. Many people loved him and thought he was kind. Many people are also extremely gullible.
1:32: Frankly we're just not gonna take it any more. Ya know, we're not gonna be content to look after our lawns and wax our cars, paint our houses. We're out to get em--we are out to get them.
ICE and DHS. No GPD involved.
We were probably safe. They saw how bad Jackson is and said bombing it wouldn’t get noticed and only improve it. The rest of the cities are too small to target.
You'd be surprised at how many Iranians here hate the regime and love America.
What? I didn’t think anything like this could happen in the Utopia that is Madison County.
“Khomeini, you ole meanie!
I knew it was only a matter of time before the terrorists tried to seize the crown jewel of America, Madison County.
This was more than just being in violation of immigration laws. If this guy is a suspected terrorist I think we can assume he doesn't hate the regime.
I’d be interested to see what information they have to claim he’s a suspected terrorist. His address is listed online if you google his name, doesn’t seem like he was hiding so why wait till now to arrest him if they determined he was a terrorist in February? You’d think ICE would start with the terrorists before going after working immigrants, but it’s tough to assume any such common sense approach when it comes to the current government.
I don't think he is a terrorist. He was open and active in the community and well liked. I think that the so called ICE / bounty hunters got all excited when they found someone with a middle eastern sounding name! He supposedly faked a marriage to gain citizenship and it was revoked. So did Sandra Bullock in The Proposal. The uniformed, legal law enforcement entities need to go after the real terrorist cells!!!!!!!!
Our country is crawling with people here illegally. They all have to go. No exceptions.
That dude sells cars and finances them….hes as much of a terrorist is as Queen guppie is a lawyer
Bovine scatology
GPD too busy writing speeding tickets
My son’s soccer coach is Iranian and loves this country. He’s been here over 25 years and is a great person. He’s hates the Iranian regime as do most Iranians
What part of LIED ON A VISA APPLICATION do you folks not understand? Now there. READ the facts. Pleaseeeeeee
Sleeper cell. Of course he seemed well liked and a nice guy. Just waiting to flip the script.
7:12 You seem to be the only one who read the charges. 9/11 pilots were loved and taught at our flying schools & also the Boston marathon bomber was over too.. No one said all the people hate the US but lying on federal forms is a crime.
The facts? Sounds like they made up charges about being a terrorist. Why do you trust liars? Think for yourself for once Pleeeeeease
