Rubio stated in his post that Ebtekar, also known as "Screaming Mary," was linked to a group that during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis held 52 American citizens hostage for a total of 444 days, allegedly subjecting them to abuse, starvation, and mock executions. According to his words, the administration of former President Barack Obama in 2014 approved visas for Ebtekar's son and his family to enter the United States, and in 2016 they were granted permanent resident status through the immigrant visa lottery program.

He added that he believes the Ebtekar family should never have been granted the privilege of residing in the U.S. "America can never become a home to anti-American terrorists or their families, and under the administration of Donald Trump, it will not happen," Rubio conveyed.
