Petition for Status Review and Compliance Investigation regarding Marzie Eslami Rasekh and Maryam Eslami Rasekh To: • Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) • Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) • Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) – U.S. Department of Commerce • Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) – U.S. Department of the Treasury • Illumina Inc. – Legal and Corporate Compliance Department • Logos Space – Legal and Corporate Compliance Department Executive Summary In the interest of national security, global human rights, and the integrity of United States immigration and export control laws, this petition formally requests that U.S. federal authorities and corporate compliance officers conduct a thorough review into the immigration status, foreign affiliations, and regulatory eligibility of Marzie Eslami Rasekh and Maryam Eslami Rasekh (also known as Marize and Maryam Eslami Rasekh). • Marzie Eslami Rasekh is reportedly employed in the sensitive, critical technology sector of Bioinformatics in San Diego, California. • Maryam Eslami Rasekh is reportedly employed in the dual-use, critical technology sector of Space Science and Satellite Communication in Mountain View, California. Serious and credible concerns have been raised by members of the community regarding the subjects' alleged active support for, or affiliation with, institutions linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran—a regime formally designated by the United States government as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Given that their respective employment sectors involve access to sensitive biotechnology, genetic data, advanced computing, and aerospace communication systems, a formal inquiry is urgently required to ensure compliance with federal national security frameworks. Regulatory and Legal Basis for Investigation We urge the designated regulatory bodies and corporate entities to review the subjects' compliance with the following federal statutes and regulations: 1. Immigration and National Security Thresholds • Statute: Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) § 212(a)(3)(B) — Terrorism-Related Inadmissibility Grounds (TRIG). • Application: The United States formally designates the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). Under federal law, any foreign national who provides material support, maintains active affiliation, or acts as an agent of a designated FTO or its state organs is inadmissible to the United States and subject to visa revocation and removal proceedings. 2. Biotechnology Safeguards and Data Security • Statute: The BIOSECURE Act (S.3469 / H.R.8333). • Application: Federal frameworks strictly regulate and restrict access to critical biotechnology, multi-omic datasets, and genetic sequencing infrastructure by individuals or entities tied to foreign adversaries. Corporate entities handling such data must ensure strict personnel vetting to prevent unauthorized insider access. 3. Export Controls and Technology Transfer (Deemed Exports) • Statute: Export Administration Regulations (EAR) — 15 CFR Parts 730-774. • Application: Enforced by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), these regulations dictate that releasing controlled technical data, proprietary biological software, or satellite communication technology to a foreign national within the U.S. is considered a "deemed export" to that individual's home country. Comprehensive vetting is required to ensure no unauthorized technology transfers occur to arms-embargoed or sanctioned nations, including Iran. 4. Sanctions Compliance and Asset Control • Statute: Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) — 22 U.S. Code § 9404. • Application: OFAC regulations strictly prohibit U.S. corporations, research institutions, and aerospace entities from providing financial compensation, advanced technical training, or dual-use proprietary knowledge to individuals acting on behalf of, or in alignment with, the Iranian regime's state apparatus. Formal Demands to Federal Authorities and Corporate Leadership We, the undersigned, respectfully request the following actions: • Department of Homeland Security (DHS) & FBI: Conduct a formal administrative review of the subjects' immigration files, visa applications, and background checks to ensure complete transparency and to rule out any undisclosed ties to state organs of the Islamic Republic of Iran. • BIS & OFAC Enforcement: Investigate whether the subjects' access to proprietary biotechnology, genomic software, or satellite communication systems constitutes a violation of "deemed export" controls or active U.S. sanctions programs. • Corporate Compliance Audits (Illumina & Logos Space): We call upon the internal legal, compliance, and human resources departments of Illumina and Logos Space to immediately audit the subjects' security clearances and access logs. This is necessary to ensure that proprietary intellectual property, genetic data, and advanced computing systems are fully insulated from foreign adversary influence in accordance with federal law. Conclusion The integrity of the laws governing free societies requires that individuals who benefit from the economic, academic, and professional opportunities of the United States fully respect its legal and national security frameworks. We respectfully request that U.S. federal agencies and corporate leaders enforce established compliance standards to protect national security, safeguard sensitive data, and uphold the principles of accountability.
