Scalise's intervention was "absolutely crucial" to behind-the-scenes advocacy to secure Kashanian's release, her attorney said. Mrs. Kashanian was a volunteer at Habitats for Humanity. Kashanian came to the US in 1978 on a student visa and unsuccessfully applied for asylum based on her father's support of the brutal Shah of Iran, a US-installed satrap whose notorious secret police (SAVAK) tortured dissidents and 'disappeared' thousands of people. What happens next for Kashanian's legal status is still being worked out. Link: Steve Scalise Webpage

Good for Mrs. Kashanian, but there are thousands of ICE detainees who could use a 'fair shake' as Congressman Steve Scalise described it who don't have a powerful Republican advocate helping them.

We only hear about the victims of ICE who have family or friends able to squawk up.

Nice that ICE listens only to Republicans for fairness tips, eh?

She was easier to find than a criminal immigrant. ICE is only worried about getting their numbers up.
