A US State Department official has said that the agency has no current plans to revoke the green card of Trita Parsi, a prominent critic of the US-Israeli war on Iran, following reports that the Trump administration is investigating him and could seek his deportation.
"The State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time," the official told"However, no foreign national is guaranteed a right to be in our country, and this Department will unapologetically terminate the legal status of any foreign national who participates in activities that undermine America's national security," the official added.that the department had launched an investigation into Parsi that could lead to the revocation of his permanent residency status and his deportation from the United States. Parsi, 51, was born in Iran, raised in Sweden, and has lived in the US as a green card holder for more than 25 years.
