DHS told her to leave the country. She's a citizen — and an immigration attorney. 
 

"I think it's really scary this is going on," said Nicole Micheroni. "I think it says they're not being careful."

 

When Massachusetts resident Nicole Micheroni received an email on Friday from the federal government telling her to leave the country, she was baffled.

 

"At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine," said Micheroni. "So it said my parole status had been terminated and I should leave the country within seven days."

 

But the 40-year-old is a U.S. citizen, born in Newton and raised in Sharon.

"Probably, hopefully, sent to me in error," she said. "But it's a little concerning these are going out to U.S. citizens."

 

Micheroni is also an immigration attorney, working with many clients facing possible deportation issues, so her name and email are on a lot of paperwork.

"The language in the email is very threatening," she said. "And it looks kind of like a sketchy spam email. It doesn't look like an official government notice, but it is."

 

A federal judge is weighing whether to stop a move by the Trump administration to terminate parole for more than half a million immigrants in the country, including the families of servicemembers and Ukrainians fleeing the war in Russia.

 

In a statement, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC10 Boston that Customs and Border Protection is issuing notices terminating parole for individuals who do not have lawful status to remain, and "CBP used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications. 

 

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."

 

"I think it's really scary this is going on," said Micheroni. "I think it says they're not being careful."

 

Micheroni posted about the email on social media and has received thousands of responses from around the world.

 

"I think it's a scare tactic," she said. "I think they want people afraid of immigration."

Micheroni says she won't be reaching out to Homeland Security, and figures this is an administrative error.

 

She hopes nothing more comes of it.

So you don't figure one of her clients gave the DHS her email address as a contact point and she can clear this up in a phone call?

 

It is clickbait.

That's a responsible response, eh?  For an attorney, no less.

 

What a disgusting lie this entire topic is.

Definitely.  The headline of the topic is very misleading.  DHS did not attempt to deport Nicole Micheroni; it sent her an email by mistake. 

The U.S. Supreme Court has held since the  early 1800s that U.S. citizens, whether born in the U.S. or naturalized, cannot be deported or exiled.  Nor can the U.S. refuse to readmit a citizen who has been abroad.  Naturalized citizens who obtain citizenship fraudulently may have their citizenship revoked, but denaturalization has to precede any attempt to deport them.

 

As an attorney, Nicole Micheroni would know this.  It's a way for Micheroni to stoke fear and drum up business for her immigration attorney practice.

The email was addressed to her, not one of her clients. Nor was one of her clients named in the email  So, no, I don't figure that. What a stupid response frankly, but not surprising coming from you to be perfectly honest.

How do you know this? Has the DHS admitted it, or are you authorized to speak on their behalf?

How do you know that? How do you know they didn't do it merely to scare or intimidate her. Do you just make this sh* t up as you go? You are assuming the DHS under Trump is inept, and they probably are, but this appears to be clearly intentional or they would have reached out to her by now to correct their mistake.

If I was her, I'd be contacting the DHS to see if someone hijacked my e-mail address and is using my name.

 

I'd also be looking at my bank statements to see what other info they may have hijacked from me.

 

But she's not going to bother, hoping it goes away.  Makes perfect sense to some, but not to me.   

 

Or maybe she's just fear mongering about the Bad Orange Man. 

 

You have a nice day, too.  Even if you just can't help the personal insult.  I don't blame you.  It's the syndrome.

 

An immigration attorney? Most likely a mistake but I have no problem with her leaving the country.  Cancun has some nice beaches.

So, that's one out of 100,000.

What lie have I told and what lie are you referring to in OP. You never can support you bs.

 

Its a fact that you can't stomach because it shows how useless an admin under trump is that you seem to worship . You never answer any question and provide support when you claim lies and falsehood. Run your mouth and you think you're clever but you're just a whining sniveling baby that doesn't like to be wrong but can't prove your right because you arent.

Yep lies and flames are what got Trump elected. 

A senior DHS official said the mistake could have been caused by an asylum seeker who had included the email address in their contact information.

Are you sure they don't want to? Trump has stated that he'd "love that", would be "honored" and "all for it" (sending some US citizens to El Salvador).

So you believe that in the x number of days Trump has been in office, the country has degraded to the point where anybody and everybody can be deported to El Salvador for no apparent reason?

 

As I stated in a previous post, which no one replied to, how deluded are you on a scale of 1 to 10 about what's really going on? 

 

A department gone rogue for many years it seems

Its not just the US; there is the debacle surrounding Windrush deportations, which nearly everytime, is shown up to be due to departmental incompetance. A very good friend of mine, from Malaysia, is a surgeon in the UK NHS. He married an English nurse. They have kids, a house, a dog etc. Malaysia doesn't permit dual citizenship. He was applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain, which essentially should have been a mere administrative procedure. During that process, for 2 years, the applicant is in purdha; they are not allowed to leave the UK, except for exceptional reasons. He was invited to be best man at a wedding in KL. So he wrote a letter to the Home Office, seeking permission, expecting it will be "no problem, go", or "no, you cannot go". He got the third option; 10 days to settle his affairs and leave the country (deportation). WT actual F. He was On Call at the hospital he worked at; a respected urologist. Lots of very grateful patients. He had to spend £5k+ with lawyers getting this rescinded. Missed the wedding.

 

Across the Western World, under whatever administration, immigration departments fail to achieve any of their targets. I suspect Immigration is so politicised, it attracts incompetant applicants, who are merely target driven, and basically lazy, going  for low hanging fruit, excusing mistakes on "the computer". They hide behond bland departmental statements about not commenting on individual cases, with the officials mostly faceless. I guarantee the people being deported now in the US are to ones mostl likely not to resist; they are compliant. Just like all those Middle Aged Thai wives who self deported from the UK, an absolute winner for the Home Office Humphreys,  because no one was even needed to accompany them to the airport.

 

Stricter and stricter requirements merely expands their reach. They might say the 47th President isn't a proper US citizen, because his mum forgot to fill in a form. Or that Musk also needs to go. Or that Senator Cruz or Secretary of State Rubio  need to go home  to Cuba.
