“I think it’s really scary this is going on,” said Nicole Micheroni. “I think it says they’re not being careful.”
When Massachusetts resident Nicole Micheroni received an email on Friday from the federal government telling her to leave the country, she was baffled.
“At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine,” said Micheroni. “So it said my parole status had been terminated and I should leave the country within seven days.”
But the 40-year-old is a U.S. citizen, born in Newton and raised in Sharon.
"Micheroni says she won’t be reaching out to Homeland Security, and figures this is an administrative error.
She hopes nothing more comes of it."
I’m surprised she’s being so sedate about this, I’d get it in front of a judge immediately to establish a paper trail.
It would also be good to find out who else they are doing this to.
Considering they already have accidentally sent somebody to an El Salvador torture prison and are ignoring a court order to even attempt to bring them back… Yeah she should really be raising hell over this.
“Accidentally”
Indifferently.
Maleficence.
She’s offering them the “benefit of the doubt,” to let them correct their error. Unfortunately, the general response to mistakes is to double down on their stupidity.
55% people do be like that
Yeah, when I read that bit I thought that’s quite unlike what usually someone who is an expert in this exact field would do
She’s a lawyer she knows her rights.
If they come for her it will be fully documented and she can actually do something.
She’ll be kidnapped and sent to El Salvador before she can do anything. There is no law.
That only happens to people who have nobody to speak for them, that’s why immigrants are so vulnerable.
She’ll have armies of lawyers covering her.
This is Rosa Parks for white lawyers who want to feel like they’re doing something, good on her.
Nah, dude. The president has directly attacked law firms that have opposed him with bills of attainder via EOs. The president has directly, flagrantly, and openly flaunted court orders. The DOJ initially said deporting Kilmar was an accident; today, Miller clarified it was not an accident at all. They shouldn’t have been able to put a man in prison indefinitely without due process, but they have. They shouldn’t be able to lie to and ignore the courts, but they are. I am begging you to understand that the rules no longer apply, we are in a dictatorship and nobody is coming to save us. We must save ourselves.
That’s money.
When you threaten a lawyers actual freedom, that’s when shit gets really real.
No. Lawyers are lower case m money. They work for the upper case M money, which is who the Trump administration is bowing to. They aren’t worried about lower case money, especially because the courts have shown themselves to be utterly toothless. I’m telling you, the administration is already chilling lawyers by targeting firms directly with EOs, and it’s working. The lawyers are not going to save us. They’re going to be standing on the sidelines with the judges yelling “but you can’t do that, the rules say so!” As the Trump administration goes ahead and does it. I know because that’s what happening right now.
I mean, realistically what are her options?
Lawsuit.
What would the legal basis of the lawsuit be? What relief would she be seeking?
They are threatening a US citizen with deportation. At a minimum, she should be suing to vacate the deportation order.
Is there a deportation order? If she has that, she should show it. AFAIK she just has an email now.
The idea would be to block it before it reaches the point of a deportation order.
