Madonna ‘Donna’ Kashanian, 64, was taken by plainclothes officers from her home in New Orleans
A 64-year-old Iranian woman, who has lived in the US for 47 years, was detained by immigration agents on Sunday morning while gardening outside her home in New Orleans.
According to a witness, plainclothes officers in unmarked vehicles handcuffed Madonna “Donna” Kashanian and transported her to a Mississippi jail before transferring her to the South Louisiana Ice processing center in Basile, reports Nola.
Kashanian arrived in the US in 1978 on a student visa and later applied for asylum, citing fears of persecution due to her father’s ties to the US-backed Shah of Iran. Her asylum request was ultimately denied, but she was granted a stay of removal on the condition she comply with immigration requirements, a condition her family says she always met.
Sorry, I didn’t realize this story about an innocent women potentially being deported to a country that beats women to death was intended to be a feel good jokey kind of thread. My mistake, I guess.
No one said it was a “feel good” story. The other person is using sarcasm to cope. Something very common and also shown in other comments of this story.
If you don’t like it, don’t respond. No one is forcing you to provide an opinion on everything. Be less of a dick.
