DHS Sends Erroneous Deportation Notices to U.S. Citizen Attorneys

Immigration attorneys in Massachusetts mistakenly told to self-deport due to flawed DHS communication practices.

Nicole Micheroni, a U.S. citizen and immigration attorney, received a deportation notice citing parole termination despite not being on parole.
A second Massachusetts attorney, Carmen Bello, also a U.S. citizen, received a similar notice instructing her to leave the country.
DHS officials confirmed the errors stemmed from using email addresses provided by immigrants, leading to misdirected notifications.
The incidents highlight systemic flaws in DHS communication protocols and oversight in verifying recipient information.
The errors are tied to a broader Trump-era strategy of encouraging self-deportation, raising concerns over administrative accountability.
