NEED TO KNOW

Arpineh Masihi, a Trump supporter and Iranian immigrant, was targeted by ICE and taken from her home on June 30

Her husband, Arthu Sahakyan, told a local news station that even though he misses Masihi, he still supports the Trump administration's efforts to vet Iranian nationals

When asked whether he would take his MAGA flag off their house while his wife is detained, Sahakyan replied, "No, the flag stands"

"I'm very for [the United States vetting] Iranian nationals because of the sleeper cells," Sahakyan told Fox 11. "I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we'll know exactly who's in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly."

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. They're married! It's a family bond! Imagine being married to a person that's like "sure, they took my spouse to a torture prison on foreign soil so I'd never see them or even their grave again, but they're torturing them for the greater good^™️^, so while I kind of miss them, I'm sure it's for the best of everyone. It was fun while it lasted."

If I ever returned, I'd skin them alive. That, too, I think would resolve a lot of issues.

It's common sense to support a dictator holding your wife hostage

What's he supposed to do, speak out against the guy holding his wife?

In a democracy, his support for Teump would be questionable. We are no longer in a democracy. Supreme leader takes your family, you thank him and hope for leniency

It's even weirder that judging by the names (wife's first name and husband's second) they are a pair of Iranian Armenians. It's not as if Trump hadn't broken every promise given to Armenians in the US.

my sister is married to someone like this and he also has a trump flag on the house they both live in.

i'm happy that my sister and nephews are all white-passing so that she'll never have to suffer through an ordeal like this; but at the same time i frustrated that she thinks it's fine and will never understand why it isn't
