Missouri man deported to Netherlands after green card revoked for decades-old conviction

Owen Ramsingh, a 45-year-old legal U.S. resident with a green card, was detained at O'Hare Airport in September 2025 after Border Patrol discovered a felony drug conviction from nearly 30 years prior. His green card was revoked, and he was deported to the Netherlands in February 2026, separated from his wife and teenage daughter in Columbia, Missouri. Ramsingh, who had not lived in the Netherlands since age 5, is now adjusting to life there while learning Dutch and living with his reconnected father.
