Judge Dismisses Doctor's Deportation Case

On November sixth, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging the deportation of Doctor Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist from Lebanon. Despite having a valid visa, she was deported earlier this year from Bostons Logan Airport, following her attendance at the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Homeland Security found photos of Hezbollah fighters and martyrs on her phone, leading to her detention and eventual deportation. Despite a federal judges order to prevent her removal, she was sent back to Lebanon, and her case was dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
