Pregnant South African Woman Detained by ICE at Las Vegas Airport
The couple, both professors and lawful permanent residents, say they were separated from their son and held for more than 120 days.
- Los Angeles professor Maryam Tahmasebi and her husband, Eissa Hashemi, have spent over 120 days in Texas detention centers after being detained during a school run, stemming from an immigration dispute originating nearly 50 years ago.
- A data-sharing agreement between the Transportation Security Administration and ICE allows agents to target travelers at airports, even those with pending legal protections, to meet aggressive arrest quotas, according to immigration attorney Charles Kuck.
- Detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, Tahmasebi and her son, a legal resident of California for 12 years, are allowed to speak with Hashemi for only 10 minutes every two weeks under supervision.
- Rep. Nikema Williams, D-Ga., denounced the operations as "exploitative, dangerous, and a violation of people's privacy," co-sponsoring the No TSA Data for ICE Act to block coordination between the agencies.
- President Donald Trump's second-term crackdown has seen nearly 250,000 interior deportations, leaving families like the Tahmasebi-Hashemi household trapped in what they describe as an unendurable, unending nightmare.
