Judge demands Trump admin. explain why doctor was deported despite order

A federal judge on Sunday ordered the Trump administration to respond to allegations that U.S. immigration enforcement "willfully disobeyed" an order halting the deportation of a Rhode Island doctor.

The big picture: Dr. Rasha Alawieh, who according to court documents is a citizen of Lebanon who holds an H-1B visa, was detained last week upon her arrival at a Boston airport.

How it happened: In an order on Friday evening in response to a petition from Alawieh's cousin, federal Judge Leo T. Sorokin mandated 48 hours' notice before Alawieh could be deported.

But Alawieh was nonetheless placed on a flight to Paris, where she was detained as of Saturday.

It's unclear how much time elapsed between the order coming down and that flight departing, but attorneys representing Alawieh's cousin, Yara Chehab, alleged in a court filing that the government had received "actual notice" and "willfully disobeyed" the court's order. Alawieh was expected to fly to Lebanon on Sunday, per the filing.

The Trump administration has not said why Alawieh was detained, or why she was removed from the country despite the order. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment, while the State Department said it could not comment on individual cases.

Go check her social media and see what she has been posting about that orange gibbon and his fellow poo flingers. I bet she has had a few things to say about his antics. Plus, once they looked into her, they say that she had a good reputation and was a smart female.

I suspect that was what pushed them over the edge. I also wonder which of the grunts in the administration has a beef with either her and/or Brown. Being an Ivy League school, their hate is palpable since they do not like anyone learning unless it leads to more wage slaves.

Paradichotomous juxtaposition,
In flagrante delicto's
Revealing deception...

Better disregard diamonds;
Dames that debate.
Skip the fragant dejure
Gettin' macked on the make.

Salacious salubriants
Stir 'em up with a shake!

Defacto don't matter
Dejure's the 'real Jake'.

This parade of timeless
Junk suppositions,
All confirmed by the top peer reviewed statisticians...

Is a boilerplate army addin' weight by the minions
To the paraspychotics public predictions...
~~~
Babble on later at five and at ten.
Tune in tomorrow they'll babble again.
