Family Illegally Detained

To: Sen. Durbin, Sen. Duckworth, Rep. Foster

From: A verified voter in Marengo, IL

October 15

I'm writing about Maryam Tahmasebi, Eissa Hashemi, and their teenage son — a family of lawful permanent residents from California who have been held in ICE detention since April 2026, with no criminal record and no charges. The family has been separated for six months. They asked to leave the country voluntarily, and the government opposed it. I'm asking to contact DHS and the State Department, speak out publicly about this case, and call for this family's immediate release. Thank you.
