Sikh granny's arrest by US immigration sparks community anger

Harjit Kaur, a 73-year-old Sikh woman, was arrested by U.S. immigration authorities last week, sparking outrage within the Sikh community. Kaur had previously applied for asylum, but her application was unsuccessful. The arrest has drawn criticism from community leaders, who argue that the detention of an elderly woman is both inhumane and unnecessary. The incident has highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by immigrants and asylum seekers in the United States, particularly those from marginalized communities. The Sikh community has expressed concerns about the treatment of their elders and the perceived lack of empathy shown by immigration officials. The case has also reignited the broader debate surrounding immigration policies and the treatment of vulnerable individuals within the system. Community advocates are calling for a more compassionate and humane approach to immigration enforcement, particularly when it comes to the elderly and those with limited resources.
