On Friday, federal authorities ordered Nicole Micheroni, a U.S. citizen and immigration attorney, to leave the country within seven days. As of Tuesday, Micheroni had not received any further communication from the Department of Homeland Security, leading her to believe that the notice was sent in error. The email informing her of the need to leave the U.S. came from a no-reply address, and stated that her parole, allowing her to stay in the U.S., had been terminated. Micheroni, initially unsure if the email was real, expressed concern over the lack of information provided in the notice.
A Department of Homeland Security official stated that Customs and Border Protection is responsible for issuing parole termination notices to individuals without lawful status to remain in the U.S. The official acknowledged that notices may have been inadvertently sent to unintended recipients, such as American citizens connected to individuals with unresolved immigration status. Another U.S. citizen and immigration attorney, Carmen Bello, also reported receiving a similar notice.
Both Micheroni and Bello criticized the lack of responsibility shown by government agencies in sending out notifications without thorough verification of recipient information. Micheroni described the situation as a “mess” and highlighted the need for greater care in immigration-related processes. The Department of Homeland Security did not provide a response to inquiries but assured that any issues with communication would be handled on a case-by-case basis.
