A 73-year-old woman, who was deported from the US recently after spending more than three decades there, Saturday said no one should go through the ordeal she went through, and expressed her desire to be reunited with her family in America.

Kaur, who had unsuccessfully applied for asylum in the US, was deported to India after being detained by immigration authorities in California, her advocate said earlier.

She was detained by immigration authorities in California September 8 after she went for a routine check-in, triggering protests and concerns among her family and community members.
