Overview
- Multiple U.S.-born immigration attorneys, including Nicole Micheroni and Carmen Bello, received DHS emails instructing them to leave the country despite their citizenship.
- The emails, citing parole termination, threaten law enforcement actions if recipients do not self-deport immediately.
- Errors stem from the use of contact information provided on immigration paperwork, leading to notices being sent to unintended recipients, including U.S. citizens.
- Hundreds of thousands of immigrants across the U.S., particularly in New York, have also received similar emails, causing widespread confusion and fear.
- Critics argue that the mass, non-individualized notices reflect reckless administrative practices and may serve as intimidation tactics targeting immigrant communities.
