Khshyar Amanazedi/Iran/Burglary, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Grand Theft

ICE Los Angeles arrested Khshyar Amanazedi, a 49-year-old citizen and national of Iran, on July 9, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen due to multiple criminal convictions in the United States. According to ICE records, Amanazedi has a criminal history that includes convictions for burglary, an offense involving the unlawful entry into a building or structure with the intent to commit theft, assault, or another felony. Burglary is classified as a property crime but can also carry violent crime enhancements depending on the circumstances of the offense.

In addition to burglary, Amanazedi has been convicted of possession of a controlled substance, reflecting his unlawful possession of drugs regulated under federal and state laws. Possession offenses, even for personal use, can significantly affect a noncitizen’s immigration status and may be classified as crimes involving moral turpitude, depending on the substance and circumstances involved.

Amanazedi’s criminal history also includes a conviction for grand theft, indicating involvement in the unlawful taking of property of significant value. Grand theft offenses are considered serious crimes under criminal and immigration law and can contribute to an individual’s classification as removable. Multiple convictions for offenses involving theft, drugs, or property crimes often result in mandatory detention and removal proceedings under U.S. immigration law.

ICE has not disclosed further details regarding the specific circumstances, locations, or timelines of Amanazedi’s arrests or convictions. As of the latest report, Amanazedi remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings to determine his future status in the United States.
