Citizen who was ordered to leave the U.S. in 7 days says she's heard nothing from federal officials
On Friday, federal authorities ordered Nicole Micheroni to leave the country within seven days.
As of Tuesday, Micheroni — a 40-year-old U.S. citizen, immigration attorney and Massachusetts resident — told MSNBC that she has heard nothing from the Department of Homeland Security, which she believes mistakenly sent the notice that told her "it is time for you to leave the United States.'
'The process is a mess right now,' Micheroni said. 'DHS is not being careful.'
The email came from a no-reply address, Micheroni said, and informed her that her 'parole' — which in immigration law allows non-citizens to enter or remain in the United States for limited periods of time — had been terminated, according to a screenshot of the email shared with NBC Boston.
"If you do not deport the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States," the email says.
The notice was sent to her work email, Micheroni said, but it was different than the emails she typically gets from immigration authorities about clients. There was no name included in the message, she said, nor was there a case number.
Initially, Micheroni wasn't sure if it was real.
"I kind of laughed at first, and then I was like, wait a minute," she said. "This is very concerning."
The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday. But in a statement to NBC Boston, a department official said that a separate agency — Customs and Border Protection — is issuing parole termination notices to people who do not have lawful status to remain in the United States.
"CBP used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications," the official said. "If a non-personal email — such as an American citizen contact — was provided by the alien, notices may have been sent to unintended recipients. CBP is monitoring communications and will address any issues on a case-by-case basis.'
A second U.S. citizen and Boston-area immigration attorney, Carmen Bello, told NBC Boston that she, too, received a notice of parole termination telling her to leave the country.

Moment drunk passenger is hauled off flight by cops after necking six wines as ENTIRE plane is forced to disembark
THIS is the moment a drunk Delta Air Lines passenger refused to get off a plane - forcing the whole plane to disembark and cops to carry her off. Body-cam footage shows police officers' repeated attempts to get the woman, stubbornly seated on the plane, to cooperate. 4 4 4 In the shocking video from a flight scheduled to travel from Dallas to Boston on April 14, the passenger, named Alicia, can be seen refusing to budge from her seat. After repeated warnings, cops resort to physically removing her from the plane. Alicia can be heard saying: "I do not trust this state and I'm trying to go home. So do not hold me here." The officer responds: "You need to stand up and get off the airplane, ma'am." She says: "No, I don't." Frustrated passengers are then seen disembarking the plane to make it easier for officers' to handcuff her. With a more emotional tone, she says: "Why would you do that? Why would you do that? "All I was trying to do is f**king fly home?"" A flight attendant told police that Alicia had a glass of prosecco and two shots of tequila while on board. Alicia also revealed that while waiting for her delayed flight, she had six glasses of wine. Passengers injured on Ryanair flight after being thrown against the cabin roof as plane 'flew into supercell storm' 4 When Alicia is escorted by police through the terminal, angry passengers - who had been forced off the plane and were in the terminal - booed her. At the airport's exit, police can even be seen lifting her off the ground. Outside the airport, the intoxicated passenger can be seen refusing checks for weapons as she was being escorted to the squad car. She was reportedly arrested for criminal trespassing and public intoxication. It comes as Delta Air Lines passengers had to evacuate a plane by the emergency slides during a scary landing at an airport in Atlanta. The Boeing 717-200 was going to Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina when smoke suddenly filled the plane cabin. The Delta flight was en route from Atlanta to South Carolina when it had to turn around. Once the plane landed, all 94 passengers, two pilots and three flight attendants were forced to escape the aircraft using the emergency exit slides. Shocking photos showed passengers standing on the left wing of the plane clutching onto their belongings.

Mahmoud Khalil to stay in detention under Trump DOJ argument: judge
On June 11, Farbiarz initially ruled Khalil couldn't be detained by Secretary of State Marco Rubio's determination that he threatened American foreign policy interests. But Farbiarz left open other options for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold Khalil. Ahead of a court-ordered deadline to respond on June 13, Justice Department lawyers argued Khalil could be held for misrepresenting information on his permanent residency application, under a federal immigration statute lawyers have presented to the court. "Khalil is now detained based on that other charge of removability," Justice Department lawyers wrote in a June 13 letter submitted to court. "Detaining Khalil based on that other ground of removal is lawful." They said Khalil now has options to seek his release with the charge pending. Farbiarz sided with that assessment and said the secondary charge hasn't been blocked by the court. He said, "a number of avenues are now available to" Khalil, "including a bail application to the immigration judge presiding over the immigration case." Khalil's lawyer, Amy Greer, said that the government was using "cruel, transparent delay tactics" to keep him away from his wife and newborn son on their first Father's Day, on June 15. "Instead of celebrating together, he is languishing in ICE detention as punishment for his advocacy on behalf of his fellow Palestinians," Greer said in a statement. The Justice Department had no comment beyond the filings, an agency spokesperson said in an email. The government had until June 13 to appeal the judge's initial ruling. Justice Department lawyers pushed Khalil to follow the administrative actions instead of filing in federal court. "These administrative processes are the proper avenues for Khalil to seek release, not having a federal district court hold that the government cannot detain Khalil on a charge that the Court never found to be unlawful," the government lawyers said in the letter. In his original June 11 ruling, Farbiarz Khalil's request to temporarily block federal officials from deporting him under Rubio's determination. On June 13, he extended the government's time to respond to appeal his decision. Justice Department lawyers instead brought up the second argument. Khalil's legal team sent a letter to Farbiarz the morning of June 13, requesting that the client be freed since the appeal from the government did not meet the morning deadline. Khalil has been held in an immigration detention center in Louisiana since March. His lawyers have fought for his release to be with his wife and newborn son, Deen. However, a June 12 email sent to Khalil's lawyers by Brian Acuna, director of the New Orleans ICE Field Office, stated that he had "no information [that] your client will be released or a time for that," court records showed. His lawyers instead needed to contact ICE's Office of Chief Counsel on that matter, the email said. Immigration agents arrested Khalil, a green card holder married to an American citizen, on March 8 in the lobby of his university-owned apartment building in Manhattan. A Palestinian born in Syria, Khalil was a spokesman and negotiator for pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia. Khalil was not accused of any crime. Noncitizens can be deported if the Secretary of State finds that their presence threatens U.S. foreign policy interests, even if their beliefs, statements or associations are "otherwise lawful," the Trump administration argued. They cited a rarely used provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 as the basis. Farbiarz ruled against the Secretary of State's determination and said the secondary argument -- that he omitted information on his application to enter the country -- "almost surely flows" from Rubio's determination. On June 13, Farbiarz said Khalil hadn't given factual evidence as to why it could be unlawful to detain him on the secondary charge.
