A 73-year-old grandmother from California was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during a routine immigration appointment, despite living in the United States for more than three decades. Harjit Kaur was taken into custody on September 9, 2025, after showing up for a regular check-in at the ICE office in San Francisco.
Kaur, who immigrated from India in 1992 as a single mother with two sons, has been complying with ICE requirements for over 13 years. Her asylum claim was denied, but she has continued to report to immigration officials every six months as required. According to her family’s legal website, she has been seeking travel documents from the Indian Consulate but was repeatedly turned away.
