Indian-Origin Businessman's Detention Highlights ICE's Controversial Practices

Paramjit Singh, an Indian-origin businessman residing in the United States for over three decades, finds himself entangled in a contentious legal predicament. Despite holding permanent resident status, Singh was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) due to a long-standing legal issue, sparking a heated debate over ICE's detention practices.

According to media reports, Singh was apprehended on July 30 at Chicago O'Hare Airport upon returning from India. Attorney Luis Angeles, representing Singh, has voiced concerns over ICE's handling of the case, citing the organization's alleged use of legal maneuvers to prolong Singh's confinement, even after a judge granted him eligibility for bond.

Singh's deteriorating health and subsequent transfer to an emergency room without family notification have intensified the family's distress. As Singh awaits legal relief, his family endeavors to post a bond while planning to escalate the matter to a federal court, spotlighting broader issues of decade-old legal entanglements affecting many green card holders in the U.S.
