If Arpineh Masihi could vote, she would have cast her ballot for Donald Trump. She’s a devout supporter of the US president – even now that she’s locked up as an illegal immigrant.
“He’s doing the right thing because lots of these people don’t deserve to be here,” Arpineh told the BBC over the phone from the Adelanto immigrant detention centre in California’s Mojave Desert.
“I will support him until the day I die. He’s making America great again.”
In 2008, she was convicted of burglary and grand theft and was sentenced to two years in prison. An immigration judge revoked her Green Card, which is a common practice. But because she is a Christian Armenian Iranian, the judge allowed her to remain in the country instead of being deported.

Speaking from Block 10 of Auschwitz-Birkenau, a Jewish detainee says she believes “the undesirables will be eliminated.” If Rachel Stein could vote, she would have cast her ballot for Adolf Hitler. She’s a devout supporter of the Führer even now that she’s locked up as an “undesirable” in the concentration camp. “Hitler is doing the right thing because lots of these people don’t deserve to be here,” Rachel told the BBC over the phone from Auschwitz’s infamous labor camp. “I will support him until the day I die. He’s purifying the Aryan race.”
In 1938, she was labeled a “non-Aryan” and stripped of her citizenship. An SS judge revoked her “Jewish status,” which is a common practice. But because she was a devout Christian (and occasionally lied about her ancestry), the judge allowed her to remain in the camp instead of being sent to the gas chambers.
“Better living conditions in the labor camps,” Rachel said, “and shared suffering with fellow prisoners. It’s like a family!”
“It’s true! I’m poisoning the blood of the German people! I suck.”
