Overview

• Kaur was detained on September 8 during a scheduled check-in at ICE’s San Francisco office and later moved from Bakersfield to Los Angeles before a flight to a Georgia transit facility, her attorney says.
• She was held about 60–70 hours in a temporary site without a bed or shower and reported inadequate food and limited access to medication, according to her lawyer and family.
• Relatives obtained travel documents and asked for a commercial flight or a short monitored release to say goodbye, but officials proceeded with an ICE-chartered removal.
• ICE cites a 2005 removal order and multiple failed appeals up to the Ninth Circuit, saying it enforced the judge’s orders once legal remedies were exhausted.
• She arrived in New Delhi on September 23 as community groups and several California officials condemned the case as a wrong priority for an elderly long-time resident.
