A 73-year-old Sikh grandmother from Punjab was deported to India after living in the US for 30 years. Her lawyer alleges she faced inhumane treatment in detention, including being denied basic facilities like a bed and shower despite having had knee surgeries. Despite faithfully reporting to immigration authorities for over a decade and having no criminal record, she was among 131 deportees on an ICE-chartered flight as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
