The husband of an Iranian-born mother taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says his allegiance to Donald Trump is unshaken, even after his wife spent more than six months in detention. Their story, unfolding in a quiet suburb of Los Angeles County, has become a striking example of how political loyalty can endure through some of the most personal and painful consequences of immigration enforcement.
The family from Diamond Bar has emerged as an unlikely symbol of unwavering support for the former president's immigration policies despite profound hardship at home. The mother, Arpineh Masihi, was detained by federal agents as part of an expanded enforcement operation, leaving her husband, Arthu Sahakyan, to care for their four young children alone.
