Two immigration lawyers in Massachusetts received erroneous deportation notices from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite being U.S. citizens. The letters demanded self-deportation within a week and claimed termination of their immigration parole status, which did not pertain to them. Micheroni, one of the lawyers, highlighted the issue, showing her citizenship proof and criticizing the agency for such serious mistakes that reflect broader operational problems within DHS, especially regarding the treatment of individuals' rights.
"At first I thought [the email from DHS] was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine..."
"Do not attempt to remain in the United States - the federal government will find you," the letter adds.
