A 60‑year‑old Indian‑origin woman, Babblejit “Bubbly” Kaur, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on December 1 during a routine biometric appointment linked to her pending green card application in Long Beach, California. Kaur, who has lived in the United States since 1994 and has no criminal record, had an approved family‑based green card petition filed by her US‑citizen daughter and green card‑holding husband. Her family was initially not informed of her whereabouts after detention; she was later tracked to the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. The sudden arrest, occurring during what was expected to be a final immigration step, has shocked her family and community, raising concerns about immigration enforcement practices for long‑term residents.
