Iranian Student Lawyer: He has not committed any crime

A few days ago, an Iranian student at the University of Alabama, who is legally resident in the United States, was arrested at night by the Immigration Officers in his apartment.

Alireza Daroudi, a 5 -year -old PhD student in the United States, was arrested for canceling a visa in year 6, according to the Associated Press. According to the student’s lawyer, although his visa has been canceled in year 6, he can stay on US territory as long as he is a student.

“He has not been detained for committing any crime, has not participated in any protest and is legally present in the United States,” says Daroudi’s lawyer. “He is trying to get a doctorate in mechanical engineering.”

“This person was a serious threat to national security,” a statement said. However, no further details have been released about this “threat”. The lawyer also says he did not receive any information about the security charge.

Officers of the US Immigration Office attacked Daroudi’s house around 9am and arrested him. The raid was carried out in such a way that Daroudi initially thought that the burglars were targeted. The US media report also said that some neighbors woke up the voice of police arrival and watched the student’s arrest in a frightening state.

An immigrant lawyer who has no role in the Durani case told the Associated Press that in recent years the cancellation of international students’ visas has become a common issue due to committing small crimes such as driving crimes, but the cancellation of the visa can only mean re -entry into the United States and can continue to be a student.

According to the Associated Press, the case is the latest example of migration arrests for college students. Many of these students are currently kept in rural areas of Louisiana; The region that had become one of the hubs of immigrant detention in the first term of Donald Trump.

Trump’s immigration policies have always focused on widespread expulsion of immigrants and restricting foreigners since his arrival in the White House. During his first presidency, he issued executive orders to restrict the arrival of several predominantly Muslim nationals, including Iran, arrested and expelled thousands of illegal immigrants; This has led to widespread domestic and international criticism.

In the second period, Trump has returned to power with the promise of extensive expulsion and focusing on foreign students, asylum seekers and political opponents. The use of remote detention centers in Louisiana and citing security authority, including sending hundreds of Venezuelan citizens to prison in El Salvador, shows that the new Trump government immigration policy has taken on a more tough and more targeted dimension than the first period.
