Credit: @thejenniwren Green card holder Paramjit Singh has lived in the U.S. for more than 30 years, built a business in Fort Wayne, raised a family, and followed the law. Yet ICE and DHS are caging him like a criminal over a 25-year-old infraction: using a payphone without inserting 35 cents.
He was seized at O’Hare on July 30, held incommunicado for five days as his brain tumor and heart condition spiraled into an emergency. His family only learned where he was when a hospital bill arrived.
Today, months later, he remains locked inside Boone County Jail in Kentucky.
His attorney calls it illegal and unethical. That is too polite. This is barbarism. It is state cruelty, stripping a gravely ill man of dignity and care, weaponizing a forgotten misdemeanor to torment someone who has given decades of his life to this country.
ICE and DHS are not protecting America. They are persecuting a lawful resident and gambling with his life.
