The Trump administration officials are scheduled to appear in a Boston federal court to address accusations of unlawfully deporting Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist, by sending her back to Lebanon despite a court order. This incident occurred after she visited family and suggests possible increasing immigration enforcement in the area. Dr. Alawieh's colleagues noted the urgency of the situation, illustrating their desperate attempts to prevent her plane's departure. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) contends it follows strict protocols to combat security threats, indicating a defense against the allegations of misinterpreting the judge’s orders.
"We got the phone number for the control tower [] on the internet," says George Bayliss, medical director of the transplant program, emphasizing the emergency situation faced by Alawieh's team.
"It was pretty dramatic and frustrating," says Bayliss, highlighting the challenges Alawieh's legal team encountered while trying to prevent her deportation.
