Victories in Immigration Law and Regulation

I am Iranian, and I support this petition. Millions of Iranians have been barred from entering the United States or living normal lives abroad due to the policies of the Islamic Republic. Why, then, are the families of Iranian government officials—who profit from repression and violence—allowed to live freely on U.S. soil while innocent people are being banned? Justice requires accountability, not privilege for those connected to power or to terrorist organizations.
Mohammed supported: Deport the Eissa Hashemi families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilI am writing to you as an Iranian who has spent my entire life opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). While living in Iran, I openly spoke out against this regime and repeatedly put my life at risk for standing on the side of freedom and human rights. Today, however, I am deeply disturbed to see individuals connected to the Islamic Republic and IRGC-affiliated families entering the United States with ease and living peacefully in the very country they publicly call their enemy.
Many of these families openly support a regime responsible for:
• The killing and execution of innocent civilians
• The killing of children and protesters
• Widespread human rights abuses
• State-sponsored terrorism
Even more alarming, some of these individuals have threatened Iranian dissidents and U.S. citizens abroad, yet they are allowed to live freely and safely inside the United States.
It is unacceptable that children are being killed in Iran while the families of those responsible enjoy safety, wealth, and freedom in America.
I respectfully urge Congress to:
• Investigate IRGC-linked individuals entering the United States
• Strengthen background checks for regime-affiliated applicants
• Enforce existing terrorism and sanctions laws
• Protect Iranian dissidents on U.S. soil
America must not become a safe haven for the families of those who terrorize the Iranian people.
Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent matter.
Melika supported: Deport the Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larij families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilI am Iranian and my people are suffering under the Islamic Republic. Families linked to that system enjoy freedom and safety abroad while ordinary Iranians are jailed, tortured and killed. I do not think it is fair that they benefit from a democracy they did nothing to stand up for. I support this petition and believe they should be returned to Iran.
Amin supported: Deport the Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larij families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilAll my life, I have hated the Islamic regime and the IRGC. I openly expressed my hatred toward them and risked my life several times when I was in Iran.
When I applied for a U.S. visa, it took me two years to get approved. Now these people—whose fathers are enemies of America (and the whole world)—are easily coming to the U.S. and living peacefully in the very country they call their enemy. This is not fair. They should not be here.
Their families threaten U.S. citizens and Iranians who oppose them, so why are they allowed to come here and do whatever they want? They should be removed immediately.
They cannot kill our children in Iran while their own kids live here in peace and wealth.
Saeed supported: Deport the Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larij families of Iranian government officials from U.S soilI’m from Trinidad, and I’m tired of Nicki Minaj using Trinidadian identity when it suits her while embarrassing the culture on a global stage. She benefits from Caribbean roots, accent, and imagery, but consistently moves in ways that contradict the values of accountability, community, and respect that many of us were raised with.
Nicki Minaj has repeatedly defended and protected men accused or convicted of serious sexual crimes, including her husband, instead of standing with victims. She has used her massive platform to intimidate critics and journalists, harass other women in the industry, and silence people who speak out. On top of that, she spread blatant COVID-19 misinformation to millions, refusing to take responsibility even when public health officials had to correct her claims.
This isn’t “being misunderstood.” This is a pattern of choosing ego over truth and loyalty to harmful people over basic decency. Fame doesn’t excuse that. Influence makes it worse.
When people say she should be deported back to Trinidad, it’s not about immigration law, it’s about accountability. If you’re going to constantly shout out Trinidad, wave the flag, and profit off Caribbean culture, then you should be held to the standards that come with it. You don’t get to pick and choose the parts of your identity that benefit you while ignoring the responsibility that comes with representing millions of people.
Nicki Minaj doesn’t just represent herself anymore, and the way she moves reflects badly on the culture she claims. If you’re going to claim Trinidad so loudly, then stand on principles, or stop using us as a brand
Rokia supported: Deport Nicki Minaj back to TrinidadAs an afro latina and caribeña who grew up listening to Nicki’s music and feeling empowered by her art and inspired by her style, I’m appalled by her recent claims. I stopped being a “barb” a long time ago due to her transphobia, apologist nature, misogyny and overall downgrade as a person and artist, but now, more than ever, I feel that Nicki the Homophobic Barbie has GOT to go. We need to make an example out of her.
