DHS Emails Wrongful Deportation Notices to U.S. Citizen Attorneys

Two Massachusetts immigration attorneys, both U.S. citizens, received erroneous DHS emails instructing them to leave the country, raising concerns over administrative errors and controversial enforcement tactics.

  • Nicole Micheroni and Carmen Bello, both U.S. citizen immigration attorneys, received DHS emails falsely stating their parole status was terminated and instructing them to self-deport.
  • The emails appear to have been sent due to clerical errors, with DHS using contact information provided by immigrants, leading to unintended recipients receiving deportation notices.
  • The use of email to terminate immigration parole is unprecedented and has drawn criticism from legal professionals for its lack of oversight and reliability.
  • DHS officials acknowledged the errors and stated they are monitoring the situation on a case-by-case basis, but concerns remain about systemic issues in enforcement practices.
  • Donald Trump's remarks about exploring extreme measures, including banishing U.S. citizens, have intensified scrutiny of the administration's aggressive immigration policies.
