DHS Erroneously Sends Deportation Notices to U.S. Citizens, Including Immigration Attorney

The Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement efforts face criticism for mistakes and intimidating tactics as DHS confirms administrative errors in deportation emails.

Nicole Micheroni, a U.S. citizen and immigration attorney, received an erroneous DHS email instructing her to self-deport, raising alarm over administrative errors.
The email, part of a broader campaign to terminate humanitarian parole statuses, has mistakenly targeted U.S. citizens due to outdated or misused contact information in immigration files.
DHS officials confirmed the error, explaining that emails were sent using contact details provided in immigration case files, often leading to confusion and unintended recipients.
The emails, described as threatening and resembling spam, have sparked concerns about their potential use as intimidation tactics to pressure immigrants into self-deportation.
The incident highlights systemic flaws in the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement strategy, which aims to revoke Biden-era humanitarian parole programs affecting hundreds of thousands of individuals.
