Two people were arrested during a raid Friday afternoon, June 27, at a house in the San Fernando Valley that federal authorities have tied to an Iranian human smuggling operation, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced.
“The location has been repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to terrorism,” CBP said in a statement.
Earlier this week, seven Iranian nationals were taken into custody at the same home, including people listed on the FBI terror watch list and others believed to be connected with an Iranian human trafficking network, the agency said.
Officials have not identified the suspects. Nor did they provide the address of the home.
Fox11 said the home is in North Hills. ABC7 said it’s in Van Nuys.
The U.S. has been at a heightened level of security since the U.S. military’s strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities by B-2 stealth bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles on Saturday.
