Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese national and kidney transplant specialist at Brown University, was deported from the U.S. despite having a valid visa and a federal court's order temporarily blocking her removal. Detained upon her return from visiting family in Lebanon, she was unexpectedly put on a flight to Paris. Judge Leo T. Sorokin criticized U.S. Customs and Border Protection for potentially ignoring the court's directive and has called for a hearing to address these serious claims. The legal battle includes petitions from her cousin, naming members of the Trump administration.
