Email to Massachusetts lawyer warned her to ‘depart the US immediately’ even though removing US citizens is illegal
A Massachusetts immigration lawyer who is a US-born American citizen is speaking out after she received an email from Trump administration immigration authorities telling her she needed to leave the country.
Nicole Micheroni described receiving an email on 11 April – and that its heading was “notice of termination of parole”.
“It is time for you to leave the United States,” the email read. “If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States.”
Micheroni told NBC Boston: “At first I thought it was for a client, but I looked really closely and the only name on the email was mine.
Direct fearmongering.
Make her scared and get her to leave.
If she fights back it was an “oopsie woopsie”.
I’ll bet good money this was an intentional “clerical error” and they fully intend to send her to El Salvador.
Yeah the justification that they “used the email provided by the individual” is absurd if they’re not even bothering to include the name of the person they’re attempting to contact in the email.
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) authorities “used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications”, a DHS official told the network.
Why do people always refer to foreign people as aliens? It sounds so degrading and shitty.
It predates aliens as little green men. And I’m sure the word is a legally recognized phrase. It’s quickly becoming, if not already a slur though. Here’s googles etymological breakdown.
The word “alien” originates from the Latin word “aliễnus,” meaning “belonging to another, foreign, strange”. It’s a derivative of “alius,” meaning “other,” ultimately tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European root "h,élyos. This root also gives rise to the word “else”. The word “alien” entered Middle English from Old French, and its earliest usage as a noun and adjective in the 14th century referred to foreigners or strangers.
It is degrading and shitty and you bet your bottom dollar they know it. They use this language as just a smaller part of the larger machine the right wing government uses to gather tone deaf and ignorant citizens and encourage them to hegemonize people who don’t look like them. I’ll tell you that for free.

Any degradation is a modern connotation.
Because the world is older than you are.
So, there are a few of scenarios here:
- They knowingly sent this to her and intend to follow through (least likely IMO)
- They knowingly sent this in an attempt to scare an immigration attorney (somewhat likely)
- They accidentally sent this because they are negligently sending these notices without any checks or due process (most likely)
The most likely option, while less scary than #1 and #2 is still supremely frightening. They are simply removing due process from the process. It is just a process now without any due diligence involved.
You think theres a world where they pivot from 3 to 1? I can’t imagine this regime apologizing and flip-floping on anything :3
They accidentally sent the letter but they’ll still make good on it. Thats my guess.
100% they will start deporting naturalised citizens for the crime of not pledging fealty to Israel
I mean, where would she go? Back to her bornes county? She already pulled over. She can’t pull over anymore.
Speaking as a America born perpetual foreigner, they don’t care as long as you’re not in America.
Italy obviously. I’m just kidding lol
Immigration Lawyer is no longer a recognized occupation. - United States of America 2025
I mean I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this email was intended to be for one of her clients.
