Locked Up but Loyal: Mother of Four in Immigration Detention Still Backs Trump!
Imagine this: Arpineh Masihi, a mother of four, arrested as an illegal immigrant in California, still passionately supports Donald Trump! Yes, you read that right. While sitting in harsh detention in the Mojave Desert, she claims Trump is “doing the right thing” and that she will support him for life.
Family on the Edge: From American Dream to Immigration Nightmare
Arpineh and her family were the American dream – or at least they were. After a troubled past with a prison sentence for burglary, a judge revoked her green card but allowed her to stay in the US due to fears her life would be at risk in Iran, where she is originally from.
Now, she has been arrested in large immigration raids that have stirred unrest in Los Angeles. Her children, born in California, watch through the window as their mother is taken away in handcuffs, while her husband and mother remain exhausted and worried.
Trump’s Deportation Policy: Who’s Good and Who’s Bad?
Trump promised the largest deportation program in US history, and Arpineh and her family believe he will fulfill that promise. They think only “hardened criminals” will be deported, while “good people” will be released. But Arpineh has a criminal conviction, which under immigration law is grounds for deportation.
Still, her family points out she has turned her life around, started a business, volunteered, and has not made mistakes in the last 17 years.
Harsh Detention Conditions and the Fight for Justice
Arpineh spent three days in a cold, brightly lit cell with 28 other women, then was transferred to the private Adelanto detention center known for harsh conditions. Though she now receives three meals a day and a bed, conditions remain tough.
The family hopes the Trump administration will recognize her situation and release her. However, immigration officials have not responded to inquiries about her case.
Kids Asking: When Will Mom Come Home?
Her four children, all US citizens, don’t understand why mom is in detention. Her four-year-old daughter keeps asking when mom will come home. Arpineh’s husband receives calls from her every hour, struggling to pay costs and follow her legal case.
Is This the American Dream or a Nightmare?
As the Trump administration continues deportations, stories like Arpineh’s cast a shadow over the American dream. Is it possible that the land of freedom and opportunity is now punishing those who tried to build a better life?
