You, your wife, and your favourite politician, Donald Trump<\/a>, are all tangled up in a marriage.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s awkward, heartbreaking, and bizarre all at once. But that\u2019s the very real story of Arthu Sahakyan, a proud Trump supporter in California, whose unwavering political loyalty has cost him his wife.<\/p>\n

Arthu and his wife, Masihi, were once the ultimate MAGA-loving family. Arthu even described them as \u201cproud President Trump supporters,\u201d backing policies like strict immigration enforcement, never imagining those same policies would one day knock on his<\/em> front door.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the kicker: Masihi is an Iranian-born immigrant who came to the U.S. as a refugee when she was just 3 years old. Years later, due to some old \u201cmisdemeanour stuff,\u201d her green card was revoked. Since then, the family had been working to fix her status, without much luck.<\/p>\n

Still, everything seemed calm. In April, immigration officials told her all was fine at her check-in and to return later in the year. But suddenly, out of nowhere, ICE showed up. Masked agents pulled up outside their home, and in a flash, Masihi was taken. She barely had time to kiss her kids goodbye. That was it, no warnings, no answers.<\/p>\n

On the phone later, her voice cracking, Masihi told reporters she had no idea where she was being transferred next. Just like that, a mom of two vanished into the immigration system.<\/p>\n

So what did Arthu do? Fight like hell to get his wife back? Rally support? Call his congressperson?<\/p>\n

Not exactly.<\/p>\n

Instead, he doubled down on his love for Trump. He said he still supports the strict vetting of Iranian nationals, even if<\/em> it means losing his wife in the process. \u201cI miss her dearly,\u201d he said, before adding that vetting \u201cwill resolve a lot of issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s<\/em> his takeaway.<\/p>\n

And no, he hasn\u2019t taken down a single MAGA flag from his property. Despite friends urging him to drop the act, Arthu\u2019s response is simple: \u201cThe flag stands.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This strange saga of misplaced loyalty, personal heartbreak, and political devotion shows how deep belief can run, even when it tears your own family apart. If Masihi ever makes it back home, it\u2019s safe to say that family dinner might be tense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
