EXCLUSIVE: Immigration and customs application (ICE) arrested 130 Iranian nationals in the United States during last week, and 670 Iranian nationals are in detention of ice, while the Trump administration continues to increase the arrests of Iranian nationals in the country illegally in the middle of security problems.

Multiple federal sources have confirmed the figures, as administration officials and national security experts have warned of the possible risk of activating sleeping cells, as well as those who can be inspired to retaliate at the national level after the United States on the sites of the Iranian nuclear program.
