Federal officials arrested two people on Friday at a Los Angeles house tied to a suspected Iranian human smuggling network said to have been “repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to terrorism.”

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the arrests in an X post on Friday, saying that the operation was part of a broader national security effort involving multiple federal agencies. 

“CBP executed a federal search warrant today at a human smuggling hub in Los Angeles tied to national security threats,” the agency said. “Two individuals were arrested during the operation, which was led by CBP’s Special Response Team with support from Border Patrol tactical units and Air and Marine Operations.”

“Under @POTUS, CBP is taking aggressive action to shut down smuggling networks and remove national security threats before they can do harm,” the agency said.
