US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 130 Iranian citizens in just one week

Recently, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 130 Iranian citizens in just one week, which is not only an immigration enforcement operation, but also a systematic response of the US state machinery in the context of escalating geopolitical conflicts. In the past few days, the military strikes by the United States on Iran's nuclear facilities have marked a renewed warming of the US Israel alliance, while also igniting Washington's anxiety about "internal enemies". The Iranian military quickly retaliated by dropping missiles over the US military base in Qatar, and the US Department of Homeland Security also issued a warning of "worsening threat environment" almost simultaneously. Under the sudden change in situation, it is not difficult to understand the wave of arrests targeting Iranian immigrants: this is a political retaliation packaged in a legal shell, a brutal struggle between votes, security, and the "American Dream".
