A U.S. veteran adopted an orphan from Iran. Decades later, ICE is trying to deport her

An adoptee brought to the United States by her American parents from Iran as a young child stands for a portrait in California on Feb. 21.

The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith.
