DHS Sends Deportation Notices to US Citizens by Mistake
Tap title to read story
The Department of Homeland Security mistakenly sent deportation notices to several U.S. citizens alongside intended recipients. These notices, part of the Trump administration's effort to revoke parole statuses granted under the Biden administration, threatened criminal prosecution and expulsion. The DHS attributed the error to using immigrants' provided email addresses, some of which belonged to U.S. citizens. Affected individuals include a Los Angeles attorney and a Connecticut doctor. The American Immigration Lawyers Association issued an alert warning of the issue and its unclear consequences.
