Sikh granny’s arrest by US immigration sparks community anger
A 75-year-old Sikh grandmother, Surjit Kaur, was recently arrested by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in California. The incident took place on Monday morning at her home in Bakersfield. Kaur, who is a green card holder and has been living in the US for the past 30 years, was detained due to discrepancies in her immigration paperwork.
According to ICE spokesperson, the arrest was made as part of a targeted operation aimed at individuals who have violated immigration laws. They emphasized that Kaur’s case was not an isolated one and that they are simply enforcing the law.
Members of the Sikh community in Bakersfield have expressed outrage over Kaur’s arrest, labeling it as unjust and inhumane. They argue that Kaur poses no threat to society and should not be subject to such treatment, especially considering her age and health conditions. Community leaders are calling for her immediate release and are planning to protest outside the ICE office in the coming days.
On the other hand, ICE officials maintain that they are simply carrying out their duties to uphold immigration laws and ensure national security. They assert that Kaur’s case will be processed through the appropriate legal channels, and any further decisions will be made based on the outcome of those proceedings.
The arrest of Surjit Kaur has ignited a wave of anger and frustration within the Sikh community in the area, with many questioning the policies and practices of ICE. As the situation unfolds, tensions are running high, and calls for justice and compassion for Kaur are growing louder.
