A 73-year-old Sikh woman from Punjab, Harjit Kaur, was among deportees from the United States who landed in India Thursday evening. She had been detained by California authorities during a routine check-in with the US’ Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
On her arrival in India today her lawyer alleged Ms Kaur and other deportees – 131 of them, as the Donald Trump administration continues its controversial ‘crackdown’ on illegal migrants – on the flight had been treated badly. The lawyer, Deepak Ahluwalia, said one US official was going to shackle and handcuff Mrs Kaur, a grandmother, till another stopped him, citing her age.
US officials shackling men and women ejected from that country has been an issue since ICE began these flights; in February there was a massive political row, with the Congress ripping into the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, over visuals of handcuffed Indian citizens on deportee flights.
