tcmedianews According to a report by Drop Site News, two Iranian women remain in US immigration detention after being falsely labeled relatives of Qassem Soleimani, a claim dismantled by extensive documentation showing no familial link. Despite the lack of evidence, their legal status was revoked and they were taken into custody following a political campaign amplified online and echoed by senior US officials. The case briefly dominated headlines before fading from public view, even as the women remained locked in deportation proceedings. Behind the accusations, a different story emerges. The two had fled Iran after facing alleged social and familial pressure tied to a viral dance performance and later sought asylum in the US, citing repression and threats. Now held in a Texas facility, the mother suffers from a severe blood disorder and has been denied critical treatment, drifting in and out of consciousness as her condition deteriorates. Her daughter, also detained, watches as access to basic medical care remains out of reach. The evidence reviewed by Drop Site News contradicts the central allegation entirely, tracing family records across generations with no connection to Qassem Soleimani. Even his own relatives have publicly rejected the claim. Yet US authorities have stood by their decision while offering no proof, raising broader questions about politically driven enforcement and the widening net cast over immigrants based on unverified intelligence and public pressure.
