Iranian mother released from ICE detention after solon intervenes
Manila Bulletin
|July 10 2025
An Iranian mother detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers has been released this week following advocacy from Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
-
Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian, 64, was detained by ICE officers last month as she gardened in the yard of her New Orleans home. She had been living in the United States for 47 years, and her husband and daughter are both US citizens.
Kashanian had been allowed to stay in the US as long as she checked in regularly with immigration authorities, as she had done without fail, her family and attorney said.
After a surge of community support for Kashanian, Scalise, who represents Louisiana’s first congressional district, including the New Orleans suburbs, told media outlet WDSU that he asked the Department of Homeland Security to give Kashanian “a fair shake.”
Scalise said Kashanian should be judged on “her life’s work” and role in her community.
