💨 Abstract

Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years, was detained by ICE. Kashanian, married to a U.S. citizen and a mother, was arrested while gardening in her New Orleans home. She had applied for asylum in 1978 and has been checking in regularly with immigration officials. Her detention has sparked concerns, especially given the recent U.S. military strikes on Iran.
