Arpineh Masihi, an Iranian immigrant and supporter of former President Donald Trump, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in California. Masihi, who arrived in the United States as a refugee at the age of three, was taken into custody due to a past conviction. Despite her detention and the potential for deportation, Masihi has maintained her support for Trump and his immigration policies. Her husband, who continues to display Trump flags at their home, has publicly expressed his unwavering support for the former president, attributing the circumstances to the Biden administration. Masihi is currently held in an ICE detention center in the Mojave Desert and has stated that she cannot return to Iran. The situation has drawn attention to the impact of immigration enforcement on families, with legal aid groups working to assist undocumented parents in making arrangements for their children in the event of deportation.
