A revoked card is a door closing. A GoFundMe is a hallway they were not owed.
Son of Iran's twisted propaganda chief 'Screaming Mary' deploys brazen tactics to stay in America
Rubio pulled the green cards in April. The hostage spokeswoman's son still sat in Texas and ran a $40,000 plea online.
Summary
- The New York Post reports Iranian Americans are demanding the Trump administration remove the son and family of Masoumeh Ebtekar, the English-language spokeswoman for the 1979 Tehran embassy seizure, after more than four months of delay.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio terminated lawful permanent resident status in April 2026 for Seyed Eissa Hashemi, his wife Maryam Tahmasebi, and their teenage son. Federal agents arrested the family in April.
- The family used a GoFundMe campaign to raise more than $40,000 for their fight. The campaign was shut down after outrage in the American Iranian community. They remain in ICE custody in Texas pending removal.
- Ebtekar, nicknamed Screaming Mary, spoke for militants who held 52 Americans for 444 days and later rose through the Iranian regime. Taxpayers have been asked to wait while the family litigates the revoked cards.
Commentary
A night clerk in Dallas still counts the till with dry knuckles and remembers the old embassy photos his uncle kept in a drawer. He does not get a fundraiser if a regime family wants a second country.
That is the gap. April revocation. April arrest. Four months. Forty thousand dollars online until the community slammed the page. The woman who narrated 444 days of American cages has a son still arguing for a card. ICE has him. The docket is the delay.
Look every hostage family in the eye: if a green card can outlast a Rubio termination, who still owns the next visa file?
Comments
Should a regime spokesman's family litigate a revoked green card for months?

I stood a post. Four hundred forty-four days is not a branding story. It is a debt with a name.

Rubio's termination is a legal act. Custody in Texas is the statute holding the line.

Watch the 'due process for the family' briefs. They never paid that 1979 ransom in hours.

I wait six months for a license stamp. They ran a $40,000 page after the card died.

A teenage son in ICE is a file, not a mascot. Finish the removal. Stop the delay theater.

Tehran watches how long a revoked card can stall. Four months is a signal. Shorten it.

The Post printed Rubio, April, $40,000, Texas ICE, and 444 days. Argue those nouns.

Keep them in custody. End the appeal stall. Put the family on a plane the file already named.
