The family had pinned their hopes on agents, paying an exorbitant ₹1.05 crore to secure what they were promised would be safe passagevia the infamous Dunki route a term for illegal migration paths through Latin America. However, the journey turned into a nightmare.

Back home, her in-laws, who own nearly six acres of farmland, had travelled to Amritsar to receive her and the child on Wednesday. But the shock of what had happened left them unwilling to speak much.

Lovepreet Kaur is one of the 104 Indian illegal immigrants deported by the Donald Trump administration.

Lovepreet’s husband broke the news to the family, informing them of her detention and later confirming that she was being deported.

“The agent told our family they would take us directly to the US. But what we endured was far from what we expected,” The Indian Express quoted Lovepreet Kaur as saying.

However, their relief was short-lived. US authorities immediately detained them, confiscating their belongings, including SIM cards and even small ornaments. “We were kept in a camp for five days before being shackled and flown back to India on February 2,” she told India Express, recalling how deportees were handcuffed and chained from the waist to their legs, with only children spared from such treatment.

For Lovepreet, the future remains uncertain, but she hopes that her story will serve as a warning to others. “I wanted the best for my son, but now, I don’t know what lies ahead. I just hope justice is served, and no one else suffers as we did,” she said.
