A 30-year-old woman from Alabama, married to an Iranian immigrant, has revealed that her family's support for Donald Trump has waned after her husband was detained during sweeping immigration raids.

Morgan Karimi told Newsweek that the immigration policies of President Trump led to her husband, a Trump supporter himself, being arrested by ICE, resulting in her and her family withdrawing their support for the President.

"We believed in his [Trump's] immigration policies and were completely blindsided and truly believed that only criminals were being detained," Morgan said.

Her husband, Ribvar Karimi, aged 26, was among 11 Iranian nationals rounded up on Sunday by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that the arrest of these 11 individuals was part of their "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 failed to adjust his immigration status as required, leading to his removal, according to ICE, the MirrorUS reports.

DHS alleges that Karimi poses a threat to national security, claiming he served as a sniper in the Iranian army from 2019 to 2021 and possessed 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.

Gardner informed WIAT that Karimi never "fought any American forces or our allies", explaining that he "actually fought ISIS himself and was captured at one point" during his time in the army.

"I understand that they've got a job to do, immigration, but I just feel like he was specifically targeted because of what's going on where he's from, his home country," Gardner told WIAT.

"My heart is broken," said Gardner, who is seven months pregnant, to the outlet. "Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he's not going to be at home to go to that with me."

Gardner said that if Karimi is sent back to Iran, he could be killed by the government for his support for America and President Trump.

"My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people," Gardner told Newsweek.

Gardner stated that her family members feel "like a fool" and regret voting for Trump, adding that she herself didn't vote in the last presidential election.

"Everyone feels like a fool and regrets the decision. I personally didn't vote in the last election, and neither did my parents. At this point, I believe there are bad people on the left and the right," Gardner added.
