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’s a derivative of “alius,” meaning “other,” ultimately tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root "h,élyos. This root also gives rise to the word “else”. The word “alien” entered Middle English from Old French, and its earliest usage as a noun and adjective in the 14th century referred to foreigners or strangers.
