Alrashid says her husband Rami Othmane was detained on July 13 by agents who did not identify themselves.
She said Othmane was immediately taken to the immigration detention center in downtown Los Angeles. Last week, she and others held a rally at that facility. She was able to speak with him on the phone.
"By the fifth day when I spoke with Rami my husband, they had given him milk for breakfast and then had nothing and it was 2 p.m. No water, no lunch, nothing," Alrashid said.
Homeland Security sent Eyewitness News a statement, which said, in part:
"Any allegations that detainees are not receiving medical care or conditions are "inhumane" are FALSE. All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with lawyers and their family members."
Alrashid says her husband loves music, boating and the outdoors. He's been in this country for 10 years and had filed his paperwork to stay legally. All of this started when Othman was picked up just a short distance from his home.
He was on his way to a grocery store. Alrashid says he called her when he realized he was being followed. He then turned around to go back home, and he was stopped on Pasadena Avenue - coincidentally right next to the hospital where she works.
"He said 'ICE is following me,' and I immediately just dropped everything and went into a panic mode and said 'Come home, come home,'" Alrashid said.
Othmane has been transferred to the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona.
Federal officials told Eyewitness News: "His B-2 tourist visa expired more than nine years ago. He was transferred to ICE custody in Los Angeles for processing pending removal proceedings."
Alrashid says the process moving forward is now full of uncertainty.
"What we know is it could be two weeks, it could be five days before we hear about a hearing, and then there might be more weeks and some people months in the detention center," Alrashid said.
