A Brown University professor from Lebanon was deported from the U.S. despite holding a valid visa and a federal judge’s order preventing her removal.
The judge had explicitly instructed authorities not to deport her until he could review her case, raising concerns about potential violations of legal procedures. U.S. Customs and Border Protection defended the decision, stating that arriving individuals must prove their admissibility. The case has sparked legal and academic outcry, with many questioning the enforcement of immigration policies.
The judge is now demanding answers regarding why his order was ignored.
