ICE Deports Terrorist to India After 16-Year Legal Battle – On February 3, 2005, a terrorist’s 16-year fight to avoid being deported from the United States ended when ICE officers escorted him back to his native India. The deportation of Charenjit Singh, 43--who was found by a federal U.S. court to have engaged in terrorism, supported terrorists and who was linked to two terrorist organizations in India--was the result of a precedent-setting September 2004 decision by the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Singh was arrested and placed in deportation proceedings on September 1989, two days after he illegally entered the United States near El Paso, Texas. After initially being ordered deported for failing to attend his immigration hearing, Singh successfully petitioned the Immigration Court to reopen his case and have it transferred to Philadelphia where he eventually filed an application for lawful permanent resident status in the United States. His case was finally heard in January 1997 and in February 1998 an Immigration Judge granted Singh lawful permanent resident status, despite his admitted membership in two terrorist groups. ICE appealed the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals, arguing that Singh was never eligible for legal status in the United States because of his membership in the terrorist groups. One of those organizations, Babbar Khalsa, is officially designated by the U.S. Department of State as a terrorist organization. The Board of Immigration Appeals sustained ICE’s appeal on February 25, 2003, and ordered Singh deported. Singh appealed to the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which affirmed the Board's decision. ICE agents arrested Singh again on September 27, 2004, and he was held in Philadelphia until his deportation.

Let's see 16 years X 20 million......hmmm that's uhhh a lot of years.


By contrast Mexican law states, Mexico has the right to arrest and deport, WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF JUDICAIL PROCESS, anyone it deems inconvenient.

Mexicans know they can take advantage of our soft hearted idiot senators.

Oh, yeah, sorry, forgot to mention........

the guy they deported was labeled a terrorist....


The idiocy is unbelievable. Why do they even engage in disccusion with these people. Arrest and deport. What's the problem?

How much tax payer money went into this guys case?
