Two immigration lawyers in Massachusetts have been sent notices from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) saying they need to ⭐️self-deport⭐️ within the next week -- or the government 👉“will find [them],” -- despite the fact that 🔥both are U.S. citizens.🔥
#Nichole #Micheroni, who was born and raised in Massachusetts, and #Carmen #Bello, who is from the Dominican Republic but who has been a U.S. citizen for almost 20 years,
both received a letter demanding that they leave the country.
The correspondence from DHS is similar to threatening letters received by the lawyers’ clients.
The letter’s subject line reads, “Notice of Termination of Parole.”
Within the body of the text, the email reiterates that the department is “terminating” their immigration parole status, which doesn’t apply to either of the two lawyers.

“Do not attempt to remain in the United States — the federal government will find you,” the letter adds.
Micheroni told a local news station about the letters, showing that she has both a birth certificate and a U.S. passport proving her citizenship.
She noted that she’s never seen immigration parole for one of her clients terminated through email.
