GLUCKSTADT, Miss.–A man believed to be linked to terrorism was arrested in Gluckstadt by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

The arrest of Yousef Mehridehno, an Iranian national and former lawful permanent resident, happened Sunday, according to the Dept. of Homeland Security. He is believed to possibly be a terrorist and his residency was revoked in 2017. He is believed to have lied on his visa application and possibly to have committed marriage fraud.

Mehrudehno is one of 11 Iranians arrested following U.S. strikes on Iran.

He is now in ICE custody and will likely be removed from the country.

He is being held in Madison County.
