This is good. So she was a lawful resident. Somebody was using her as a fall person if matters went south.

Too bad. Let her do the time.

Did one of the articles say she was naturalized, or simply a legal permanent resident? I would say it is highly unlikely she will ever become a naturalized citizen now, and most likely will lose permanent legal status and be deported after prison, if found guilty.

Just stop giving out green cards.

Too many wind up the enemy within.

We need a long-term moratorium on immigration anyway.

A glamorous Iranian businesswoman with a US green card was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport for allegedly trafficking arms on behalf of Tehran.

Shamim Mafi, 44, of Woodland Hills, was taken into custody on Saturday night and charged with brokering deals for Iranian drones, bombs, and millions of rounds of ammunition bound for Sudan, according to the office of the US Attorney for the Central District of California.

Mafi had allegedly conducted the arms deals while in close contact with Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, which provided instruction and funds for her to open a business in the US to operate out of, according to court records.

“She is charged with a violation of 50 U.S.C. § 1705 for brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition manufactured by Iran and sold to Sudan,” First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli said Sunday, announcing the arrest.

Mafi posted glam pics of herself traveling the world — including posing in a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz roadster.

Mafi, who left Iran in 2013 and became a permanent resident of the US in 2016 under the Obama administration, allegedly used an Oman-registered company, Atlas International Business, to broker weapons deals as recently as 2025, according to court records.

Among the sales was a contract for more than $70 million for Iranian-made Mohajer-6 armed drones from Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.

The drones, along with 55,000 bomb fuses, were transferred in deals with the Sudanese Ministry of Defense, which has been fighting in a bloody civil war since 2023.

Liberals are fighting to keep criminal illegals in our country and you're a liberal.

Don't be a no-nothing dipshit. I have never done that, moron. You live by stereotypes, not knowing or caring if true, just something to say. You are also, a pretty bad judge of people, outside your little sewing circle. Basically useless for intelligent conversation or especially rational discussion.

I have said in this thread on multiple times, I figure Shamim Mafi, will go down at trial and get not only prison time, but cease to be a legal alien and get kicked out of the country. The only thing that could change that is 1. If it turns out to be a BS case, without evidence to prove accusation. 2. Federal Prosecutor is incompetent. We have seen this, of Federal prosecutors during this administration, especially if hand pick, though I do not know if this one was or not. 3. I say this only because I am a move fan. If some part of our own government is using this supposed arms dealer to funnel arms to somebody we like, for whatever reason, they will walk, keep legal status and it will simply look like option 1 or 2, above.

Grow up and try to contribute to the thread instead of play your stupid political gland games.

No, you loons are fighting to keep all illegal pedophiles, murderers, and criminals from getting deported. So **** off.

No. Trump is the one releasing pedophile, drug kingpins (even when convicted by his DOJ) and then getting them out of the country. Try reading his pardons list sometime, dumbass.

We sacrificed no one. You should be careful calling people loons.
