A day after being released by federal immigration authorities on Tuesday, Yuba City resident Baljit Singh ran his dogs along the river, played with his sons and started thinking about what may be his last three months in America.
Singh, 39, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, in Sacramento during a required check-in with federal authorities on Aug. 1. After being held for a week at Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center near Elk Grove, he was granted a three-month reprieve to get his affairs in order and make arrangements to leave the country.
Singh, from India, is undocumented and has been fighting for legal status for more than 12 years after crossing the border illegally from Mexico in 2005. His immigration case went to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, where Singh said he ultimately lost a bid for political asylum in 2016. He has a final order for deportation issued against him.
ICE spokeswoman Lori Haley said Singh was granted 90 days “to afford him time to get his personal affairs in order and make preparations for his departure.”
Haley said there have been 5,208 immigration arrests in an area that stretches from Bakersfield to the Oregon border, from Oct. 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.
Nationally, ICE agents arrested 41,898 individuals between Jan. 22 and April 29 of this year, a 38 percent jump over the same period in 2016, the agency reported. About 25 percent of those apprehended had no criminal convictions, an increase of 150 percent.

Buh bye, Singh. Do it legally or not at all.
Notice how these Sob Stories always are about “Family” “Work” “obeying the law” etc?
Victims always
“Buh bye, Singh. Do it legally or not at all.”
No thank you, we have enough.
He could just take a taxi to Quebec.
BAHAHAHAHA
Twelve years???? Should not have been given one more day
I wonder how many of these people given 3 months to get their affairs in order actually show up for their deportation?
“Deport ALL illegal aliens. No exceptions, no excuses.”
Agreed. “Illegal” means something, and they all need to go.
Singh lost in the Ninth Circuit ?!?!!
He must have had less than no case at all !
(political asylum; yeah, right)
Kick ALL illegal alien invaders OUT . Seize their assets.
3 months is too long. Here more hearing officers and expedite and reduce those in detention centers.
Now check all the others on that payroll.
