DONALD TRUMP MAGA PARTY-ICE WILL DEPORT THE CRIMINAL KEN OFORI ATTA.-Why-DID-Donald-Trump-illegally-DEPORTED-Nigerians,Togolese-TO-GHANA?DONALD-TRUMP-MAGA-PARTY-DO-NOT-FOLLOW-ANY-RULES-TRUMP-DOES-WHAT-HE-WANTS-OR-LIKES.-TRUMP-KIDNAPPED-MADURO-A-PRESIDENT-OF-ANOTHER-COUNTRY-AND-ARRESTED-HIM.-WARNING-TO-YOU.
An Indian grandmother, Harjit Kaur, aged 73, was deported from the US to India in September 2025 after living in California for over 30 years, sparking community anger and highlighting increased ICE enforcement under stricter immigration policies, with her case drawing attention to detention conditions and lack of support for long-term residents without legal status. Her deportation followed failed asylum attempts and generated protests and concern from the Sikh community, with her lawyer alleging mistreatment, while her family expressed gratitude for community support but continued advocacy for others in detention.
Key Details of the Case:
Who: Harjit Kaur, a 73-year-old Sikh grandmother.
When: Arrested in early September 2025, deported September 22, 2025.
Where: Moved from California to Georgia, then deported to India.
Background: Moved to the US in 1991 with her sons to escape Punjab's political issues; lived and worked in California for decades.
Legal Status: Had multiple unsuccessful asylum applications.
Community Response: Widespread protests, support from Sikh community groups, and advocacy for others facing deportation.
Allegations: Her lawyer claimed ICE treated her unacceptably, denying proper care and comfort during detention.
Broader Context:
This deportation occurred amid a significant rise in US immigration enforcement and deportations, particularly under the Trump administration, which has focused on cracking down on unauthorized immigration.
Data from the Cato Institute suggests a large percentage of those detained by ICE in 2025 had no violent convictions, with many having minor or no criminal records.
Harjit Kaur's case drew attention to individuals with deep community ties and no other home or family to return to in India, highlighting the human impact of stricter immigration enforcement, notes BBC and The Oaklandside.99999999876

Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta`s legal team is just taking his money for such fruitless exercise.
It is the legal team's deceptive moves to continue getting paid.
If you are such a fool, that is how you`re handled.
USA will eventually extradite Ofori-Atta to Ghana, eternally deny him entry into USA and keep his stolen money in USA. Free cash for USA.

NDC does not care if Ken comes to Ghana or not. This is called checkmate. NPP is in trouble which ever way you look at this.
Open your eyes.
If he returns, he WILL be convicted. If he does not, he has convicted himself.

Open your eyes.
If he returns, he WILL be convicted. If he does not, he has convicted himself.
NPP's strategy should be this: bring him here and attempt to slow down the process and hopefully change the narrative to mean "persecution".
That'll be hard though. NDC will win this standoff.
