Email to Massachusetts lawyer warned her to ‘depart the US immediately’ even though removing US citizens is illegal

A Massachusetts immigration lawyer who is a US-born American citizen is speaking out after she received an email from Trump administration immigration authorities telling her she needed to leave the country.

Nicole Micheroni described receiving an email on 11 April – and that its heading was “notice of termination of parole”.

“It is time for you to leave the United States,” the email read. “If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States.”

Micheroni told NBC Boston: “At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine.

    Direct fearmongering.

    Make her scared and get her to leave.

    If she fights back it was an “oopsie woopsie”.

      Even if she wanted to comply. How the fuck is someone supposed to just up and leave the country? That’s next to impossible on short notice.

        Walk into an embassy and seek asylum I guess?

        Keep in mind that if she would comply she would probably also be scared of those concentration camps. So leaving materialistic things behind would probably not be too much of a problem and then it’s just making sure she has her identification with her. Plus complying would possibly give her a chance for more time to figure it out because they want her to leave anyways.

        I think fighting back is best here though.
