Case Overview

The cousin of Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese citizen and Brown University professor with a H-1B visa, sued the Trump administration over the detention and deportation of Alawieh.


The Application

History

Dr. Alawieh held valid H-1B employment-based visa status, triggering INA procedural protections. The government's detention and deportation raised questions of whether adequate notice, opportunity to be heard, and compliance with visa cancellation procedures were provided before removal.

The Conclusion

Judge Leo T. Sorokin of the District Court of Massachusetts issued a decision on the merits regarding the lawfulness of the deportation action and the government's compliance with applicable statutory and constitutional protections.
