A Sikh grandmother was deported after reportedly facing what US immigration officials deemed as “unacceptable” treatment. The incident took place in California last week when 68-year-old Balwinder Kaur arrived at the San Francisco airport from India to live with her son and help care for her three grandchildren.
Immigration authorities denied Kaur entry, citing a lack of proper documentation, despite her possessing a 10-year US visitor visa. Kaur was held in detention for over 24 hours, during which time she was allegedly subjected to disrespectful treatment, including being denied food due to dietary restrictions based on her religious beliefs.
Kaur’s family and supporters have condemned the actions of the immigration officials, highlighting the insensitivity towards Kaur’s age and religious practices. They have called for an investigation into the incident and for measures to prevent similar treatment of individuals in the future.
On the other hand, US immigration officials defended their actions, stating that Kaur did not have the necessary paperwork to support the purpose of her visit. They emphasized the importance of adhering to immigration regulations to ensure national security and the integrity of the visa system.
The deportation of the elderly Sikh woman has sparked outrage among the community and raised concerns about the treatment of individuals at US ports of entry. The incident has also reignited debates about the need for more humane immigration practices and the importance of cultural sensitivity in such processes.
