BOSTON —
Boston immigration attorney Nicole Micheroni says she was born at Newton Wellesley Hospital, grew up in Sharon, Massachusetts, and was educated at Wellesley College.
So, anyone can imagine her surprise when she says she received an emailed letter from the Department of Homeland Security, telling her to self-deport within 7 days.
The first line in the April 11-dated letter tells Micheroni that "it's time for (her) to leave the United States."
"I get emails from ICE, I get emails from DHS for different clients," Micheroni said.
However, in this case, the DHS letter was meant for Micheroni, telling her that DHS "paroled (her) into the United States for a limited period" and that it is now "exercising its discretion to terminate (her) parole."
