Documents have revealed that a doctor working as an assistant professor at the Brown University College of Medicine was expelled to Lebanon, although a judge made an order immediately prohibiting the dismissal of the country’s American visa holders.
It is expected that the expulsion of Dr. Rasha Alawiya, 34, will be the axis of an hearing on Monday before a federal judge in Boston, who asked the information on Sunday to know if the American Customs and Protection Administration violated his “intentionally” case.
Liu Sorokin, the judge of the American partial court, who was appointed by former Democrat Barack Obama, said that he had received a “detailed and specific” calendar for the events of a lawyer working in the name of Alawiya who raised “serious allegations” as to the violation of his order.
The administration did not disclose the reason for the doctor’s expulsion, but his expulsion occurred at a time when the administration of republican president Donald Trump sought to impose strict restrictions on crossing borders and the intensification of arrests of migrants.
The Lebanese student, Dr. Rasha Alawiya, was prohibited in the American territory, even if she has a highly specialized qualifying visa H1-B, holding her and confiscated her phone, and her lawyer says that the border guards will deport her.

Hilton Beckam, spokesperson for the customs and border protection department, said in a statement that immigrants carrying the burden to prove their value by accepting their entry, adding that administration officials “adhere to strict protocols to determine and prevent threats”.
According to a trial brought by Yara Shehab, near Rasha Alawiya, the doctor, a Lebanese citizen who lives in Provence, was arrested Thursday after arriving at Logan international airport in Boston, returning from Lebanon after a visit to his relatives.
Alawiya has brought an entrance visa to the United States since 2018, when he first came to finish a two-year scholarship at Ohio State University before completing a scholarship at Washington University, then move to the Internal Medicine Program at the University of Yale-Carbarian, which he completed in June.
According to the trial, Alawiya obtained while she was in Lebanon, a H-1B visa of the American consulate allows her to enter the United States to work at the University of Brown. These visas are granted to people from other countries working in specialized professions.
Despite this, the customs and border protection department has owned it for unknown reasons to family members. The trial indicated that its rights violated.

In response to the trial, Sorokin made orders on Friday evening to prevent the expulsion of Alawiya from Massachusetts without informing the court 48 hours before the expulsion, and asked that it be presented to a judicial session today on Monday.
However, his relative lawyer said that after the publication of this issue, Alawiya had been transferred to Paris, where an airplane heading to Lebanon then went.
Sorokin asked the government to provide a legal and realistic response by Monday morning before the prescribed hearing, and to save all the emails, SMS and other documents related to the arrival and expulsion of Alawite.
