Maryam Tahmasebi has issued a public statement regarding her family’s ongoing detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to Tahmasebi, she, her husband, and their son have been held in custody for several months. She characterizes the experience as an "unendurable, unending nightmare."

Tahmasebi emphasizes that her family members are permanent residents of the United States and asserts that none of them possess a criminal record. Her statement highlights the personal and psychological toll of the detention process on her family. While Tahmasebi’s account provides a first-person perspective on the conditions and circumstances of their confinement, the report from The Nation does not include a response from ICE or official government documentation regarding the specific legal reasons for the family's detention. Consequently, the public record currently lacks the government's justification for why permanent residents with no reported criminal history would be held for an extended period. The situation remains a point of concern regarding the administrative procedures and detention policies currently employed by immigration authorities.
