Arpineh Masihi was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Diamond Bar, California, last week, according to FOX 11 Los Angeles.

However, her husband Arthu Sahakyan told the outlet: "I'm still supporting [Trump]. Even though my friends say take the flag down, you're going through a lot. I'm like no. The flag stands."

"Trump is not trying to do anything bad," Sahakyan said, per the report. "We understand what he's doing. He wants the best for the country. I'm just trying to make the best of it. I don't want any families to go through this. If they are, I apologize for what they're going through because it's hard."

It's fascism:

"Everything for the state, nothing against the state."

"Everything he did, he did out of love for his country."

Bonus: "If only the tsar knew". This one is not exclusively fascist, but usually something similar is invoked by some older people in former fascist countries who claim that their dear leader did not know what was being done in his name. And russia today too.
