Morgan Karimi's 26-year-old husband was arrested by ICE
A 30-year-old woman in Alabama, married to an immigrant from Iran, said that her family no longer supports President Trump after ICE detained her husband.
Morgan Karimi told Newsweek that President Trump’s immigration policies led to her husband, a Trump supporter, being arrested by ICE, and she and her family are no longer supporting President Trump.
“We believed in his [Trump’s] immigration policies and were completely blindsided and truly believed that only criminals were being detained,” Morgan said to Newsweek.
Morgan's husband, 26-year-old Ribvar Karimi, was one of 11 Iranian nationals detained by ICE as part of a round-up on Sunday by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Karimi was one of 11 Iranian immigrants arrested
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that ICE arrested those 11 people as a “commitment to keeping known and suspected terrorists out of American communities.”
Ribvar Karimi entered the country on a K-1 fiancé visa in October 2024, but did not adjust his immigration status as required, leading to his removal, according to ICE.
DHS is claiming that Karimi is a threat to national security, saying he was a sniper in the Iranian army from 2019 to 2021 and had an Islamic Republic of Iran army ID.
“We have been saying we are getting the worst of the worst out—and we are. We don’t wait until a military operation to execute; we proactively deliver on President Trump’s mandate to secure the homeland,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote in a statement.
Garder told WIAT that Karimi never “fought any American forces or our allies”, detailing that he “actually fought ISIS himself and was captured at one point” during his time in the army.
