ICE Raid Shocks Pro-Trump Family
On June 30, immigration officers detained Arpineh Masihi, an Iranian-born woman and longtime U.S. resident, at her home in Diamond Bar, California. Masihi, who fled Iran as a toddler, was taken into custody despite being a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump.
Her husband, Arthu Sahakyan, recounted the moment to Fox 11. As ICE arrived, their home stood draped in a large “Keep America Great” Trump flag. Masihi kissed her children goodbye before being led away. The family hasn’t seen her since.
A Devoted MAGA Household
“We supported Trump in the last election,” Sahakyan told Fox 11. “We gave our kids MAGA hats. We wave the flag.” Yet, federal agents still knocked on their door.
Masihi, now in her 40s, has lived in the U.S. since age 3. Around 15 years ago, she lost her green card after a theft conviction. She’s spent years trying to regain legal status while complying with routine immigration check-ins.
