Paramjit has been living in the US with a green card since 1994, his wife and children are US citizens. Returning from a trip to India, he was detained on 30th July by US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) officials. They claim two decades old cases for his detention.
His family and lawyer say there are no active cases against him.

He is only getting medical check-ups” Louis Angeles, Paramjit’s lawyer.
