California Man Still Flies Trump Flag After ICE Detained His Wife [View all]

Arthu Sahakyan’s wife was detained by ICE during a nationwide round-up of Iranian nationals living in the US.

When Arthu Sahakyan’s wife was detained by ICE on June 30th, he might have been expected to tone down his avowed support of Donald Trump’s tough immigration policies.

But the California husband and father is sticking to his guns, as reported by Fox11 on Tuesday.

Sahakyan’s 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.

Masihi’s green card was revoked 15 years ago due to a theft conviction, which her husband said was “less than $200.” According to her husband, she had been meeting with immigration authorities regularly since her green card was revoked in order to regain her legal status.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. military’s 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 family’s door on Monday.
