Designated Terrorists CAUGHT Inside America

The Trump administration just deported three former members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—a designated terrorist organization—who brazenly entered America illegally in 2024, exposing the dangerous security gaps patriots have warned about for years.

Terrorist Organization Members Infiltrated U.S. Borders

Three former members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps illegally entered the United States in 2024, raising serious questions about border security failures. Mohammad Mehrani crossed into southern California in September 2024, followed by Ehsan Khaledi in October at the same location. Morteza Nasirikakolaki entered near San Luis, Arizona in November 2024, where Border Patrol apprehended him. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed all three had ties to the IRGC, an elite Iranian military force designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. in 2019 for supporting militant groups and conducting operations against American interests worldwide.

Trump Administration Takes Action on National Security Threat

DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement executed the deportations over the weekend prior to January 27, 2026, placing all three former IRGC members on a flight to Tehran alongside 11 other Iranian nationals. Federal judges had issued final removal orders for each individual, authorizing their deportation under existing immigration law. ICE announced the action with a clear message: “Foreign terrorist organizers are NOT welcome in our country.” DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin emphasized the administration’s commitment to maintaining “a safe and secure homeland free from foreign terrorism.” This decisive enforcement represents exactly the kind of border security and counterterrorism focus that conservatives have demanded.

IRGC’s Terrorist Designation and Iran’s Brutal Crackdown

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps operates as Iran’s elite military force, reporting directly to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and functioning separately from the regular Iranian army. The Trump administration designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization in 2019, recognizing its support for militant proxies and attacks on U.S. forces and allies. This deportation flight occurred amid escalating tensions as Iran brutally suppressed widespread anti-government protests that began approximately one month before the January 2026 announcement. Iranian security forces have killed between 6,221 confirmed protesters and potentially over 30,000, with at least 313 executions reported in late December through January alone.

Deportations Signal Renewed Immigration Enforcement

The removal of these IRGC-linked individuals marks the first deportation flight to Iran since the protests erupted, following two previous flights in 2025 that returned 55 people each in September and December. This enforcement action demonstrates the Trump administration’s revitalized commitment to protecting Americans from terrorist threats that exploit weak borders—a stark contrast to the Biden years when illegal border crossings surged to record levels. The deportations reinforce the president’s “America First” approach to immigration and counterterrorism, sending an unmistakable message that individuals with terrorist organization ties will be identified, detained, and removed. For patriots who have watched our sovereignty eroded by open-border policies, this represents a return to common-sense security that prioritizes American safety over globalist immigration agendas.
