Social media personality Farzad “Tony” Toutouni remains in ICE custody following his arrest in Los Angeles. Toutouni, who has more than one million Instagram followers, was taken into custody by immigration agents on October 27th. ICE says he is an Iranian citizen living in the United States illegally and has an extensive criminal history, including charges involving forgery, kidnapping, robbery and extortion. According to the agency, Toutouni legally entered the United States in 1983. An immigration judge ordered him removed from the country in 1993, but he was not deported at that time. A second removal order was issued in 1999, and he was subsequently deported to Mexico. ICE alleges Toutouni later illegally reentered the United States in 2011. He remains detained as immigration authorities pursue his removal from the country
