Who Is Arpineh Masihi? Trump Supporter Detained by ICE, Her Husband Says Prez ‘Wants the Best for Country’

CALIFORNIA, JUL 3 – Despite his wife's detention over a past conviction, the California man remains loyal to Trump's immigration policies amid increased arrests of over 130 Iranian nationals last week.

  • Federal immigration agents detained Arpineh Masihi, an Iranian woman who immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee at age three, at her California home last Monday.
  • The detentions followed U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities last month and increased scrutiny of Iranian nationals over potential sleeper cells.
  • Masihi lost her permanent resident status about 15 years ago due to a minor theft charge and is currently facing deportation, leaving her four children behind.
  • Her husband, Arthu Sahakyan, supports immigration vetting for security reasons, states “Trump is not trying to do anything bad,” and insists the Trump 2024 flag will remain outside their home.
  • Over the past week, authorities nationwide have detained upwards of 130 individuals of Iranian descent, an increase that has sparked concerns regarding racial profiling and the effects on affected families.
