Harjit Kaur, 73, lived legally in the United States since 1991, worked for two decades as a seamstress in Berkeley, and regularly attended a Sikh gurdwara. Kaur was denied asylum, appealed multiple times, and after a federal appeals-court denial sought to self-deport but lacked travel documents from the Indian Consulate for 13 years. She checked in with ICE roughly every six months and had annual work-permit renewals while ICE tried to secure documents. Kaur was arrested during a Sept. 8 check-in, detained at Mesa Verde and later moved to Lumpkin, Georgia, and was ultimately deported without advance notice.
