Dariush Sajjadi, an Iranian journalist and lawful permanent resident of the United States, who supports the Islamic Republic made concerning statements in a May 18, 2019 interview on Ofogh TV. During this interview, Sajjadi expressed disdain for American citizenship by stating that he found the U.S. oath of allegiance "loathsome" and labeled America as tyrannical. Such statements are not only offensive but also raise suspicions about where Sajjadi's loyalties lie, especially considering that he has refused U.S. citizenship while enjoying the benefits and freedoms that the United States offers.

This situation is particularly troubling given Sajjadi's public support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a group that has been sanctioned by the U.S. government as a foreign terrorist organization. His endorsement of the IRGC and its activities, including alleged acts of terrorism on U.S. soil, presents a clear conflict with American values and national security interests. It is unsettling to think that an individual who supports a group engaging in terrorist activities against the United States continues to live here as a permanent resident.

Moreover, Sajjadi's criticism of Iranian-Americans who choose to become U.S. citizens further amplifies his apparent disconnect with the principles of freedom and acceptance that this nation stands for. This behavior is incompatible with the responsibilities and expectations of those living in America. As residents and citizens, we have a duty to uphold the security and integrity of the nation we call home.

We are calling on the United States Department of Homeland Security and other relevant authorities to initiate proceedings for the removal of Dariush Sajjadi from the United States. It is imperative for the safety, unity, and values of our nation that individuals who promote hate and terrorism are not given the privilege to live on American soil.

By signing this petition, you can help ensure that America remains a beacon of freedom and security, untainted by those who support its adversaries. Let us take a stand and protect our country from internal threats.
