GLUCKSTADT, Miss. (WJTV) – U.S. Immigration and Customers Enforcement (ICE) announced agents arrested 11 Iranians who were in the country illegally, including one in Mississippi.

According to investigators, ICE officers and agents arrested Yousef Mehridehno on June 22 in Gluckstadt.

The agency said Mehridehno’s residency was terminated by the U.S. government in October 2017 after they determined he lied on his original visa application and committed potential marriage fraud.
