A SIKH GRANDMOTHER who had lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years has been deported to New Delhi, India, after spending a week in what her attorney called “barbaric” conditions at a private ICE detention center in Georgia.
“There was no rationale to detain Bibi Harjit Kaur,” Deepak Ahluwalia, Kaur’s attorney, told American Community Media in a Sept. 24 interview. “It’s all part of their effort to fill beds.”
“Her detention was nothing short of barbaric,” said Ahluwalia. “That type of treatment would affect most people. They chose to do this to a 73-year-old woman with disabilities and health issues.”
The elderly woman was initially taken to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Bakersfield and then transferred to the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia. Neither her family nor Ahluwalia was informed of the transfer.

No water, harsh conditions
Kaur was not given water to take her medications, according to Ahluwalia. When she asked for water, she was given a plate of ice instead, which she could not chew because of her dentures. In Lumpkin, Kaur was forced to sleep on the floor in a crowded detention facility; she could not easily get up from the floor, as she had surgery on both knees. The strict vegetarian got only meat-based meals for her first six days in detention. She was handcuffed numerous times during transfers.

Well she shouldn't have.
Why didn’t she regularize her papers?
Awwww, c’mon man, she was busy with the grandkids making hummus and curry
Yes, there was.
She was an illegal living in the US in direct violation of American Law.
Habitual, repeat offender. No respect for US law. Seize her bank accounts and Social Security. Bar from reentry and put on No Fly list.
Probably for all her thirty years she was "disabled". That seems to be the most common scam.
Most Sikhs eat meat.
She is one of the 50M visa holders (parasites) who are driving up costs of food and housing . Get rid of them.
Bakersfield is the home of the Sikh commercial truck drivers in California, including the guy who made that illegal left turn in Florida a few months ago that killed three people.

>My gawd, O the hugh manatee! This poor old criminal
She and those like her are one reason why we can’t have nice things.
Exactly my point. BTW were her family members knowingly harboring an illegal? Isn’t that a felony?
How do we even know her family are legal?
