Story summary

On October 27, 2026, ICE arrested Farzad "Tony" Toutouni, an Iranian national also known as Robert, in Los Angeles for illegally re-entering the United States after deportation. With over one million followers on Instagram, Toutouni was dubbed the "Iranian King of Instagram," due to his lavish posts featuring luxury cars and scantily clad women. He first entered the U.S. legally in 1983 but accumulated a criminal record starting from 1989, including offenses such as drug possession, theft, kidnapping, robbery, and extortion. An immigration judge ordered Toutouni's deportation in 1993, which was reaffirmed and enforced when he was eventually deported to Mexico in 1999. Despite this, Toutouni reportedly returned illegally and was arrested again for trying to enter the U.S. from Canada. ICE confirmed that Toutouni will remain in custody pending removal proceedings.
