Arthu Sahakyans wife was detained by ICE during a nationwide round-up of Iranian nationals living in the US.When Arthu Sahakyans wife was detained by ICE on June 30th, he might have been expected to tone down his avowed support of Donald Trumps tough immigration policies.
But the California husband and father is sticking to his guns, as reported by Fox11 on Tuesday.
Sahakyans wife, Arpineh Masihi, entered the U.S. as a three-year-old refugee when her family fled Iran. Like many of the 400,000 Iranian-born immigrants living in the US, Masihi obtained a green card, settled in the Los Angeles area, and started a family.
Masihis green card was revoked 15 years ago due to a theft conviction, which her husband said was less than $200. According to her husband, she had been meeting with immigration authorities regularly since her green card was revoked in order to regain her legal status.
However, in the wake of the U.S. militarys strike on Iran last month, immigration authorities detained over 130 Iranian nationals amid fears of backlash from Iranian sleeper cells. Masihi was one of them: federal agents arrived at the familys door on Monday.

"...and he loves drumpf more than his spouse. "
Years ago, I heard someone define a "pre-nup" as an agreement between two people who love their stuff more than each other. I wonder how this woman feels after devoting years of her life to someone who threw her under the bus.
