根据美国广播公司新闻获得的法律文件，一名即将抵达美国教授医学的医生于3月13日在波士顿洛根国际机场被拘留。
Rasha Alawieh博士持有3月11日签发的有效H1B签证或工作签证。作为黎巴嫩公民，她受雇于布朗大学，担任医学助理教授。
作为一名肾脏移植专家，Alawieh之前也曾在华盛顿大学和耶鲁大学接受过培训。
法律文件声称，布朗的肾病部门“极度苦恼”。
文件证明，“她是一名助理教授，责任重大”。“她的同事一直在为她打掩护，但那不是解决办法。阿拉维博士是移植肾脏学的杰出学者，布朗医学需要她。”
同样根据法律文件，DHS官员没有给出拘留她的理由。
海关和边境保护局没有回应美国广播公司关于她的下落的问题，也没有透露她被拒绝进入美国的原因
然而，CBP公共事务助理专员Hilton Beckham分享了一份声明，称“抵达的外国人有责任证明其可进入美国。我们的CBP官员遵守严格的协议来识别和阻止威胁，使用严格的筛选、审查、强大的执法伙伴关系和敏锐的检查技能来将威胁挡在国门之外。CBP致力于保护美国免受国家安全威胁。”
马萨诸塞州的一名美国地方法院法官下令，在没有48小时通知和来自DHS的理由的情况下，阿拉维不得被驱逐出境。
相反，根据一份明显违反通知，DHS“故意”无视法院命令，将Alawieh驱逐到法国，并安排航班继续飞往黎巴嫩。尚未证实驱逐是否按计划进行。
下一次听证会是在星期一早上。
DHS detains Lebanese doctor with a work visa to teach medicine in the US
A doctor who was arriving in the United States to teach medicine was detained at Boston's Logan International Airport on March 13, according to legal documents obtained by ABC News.
Dr. Rasha Alawieh had a valid H1B visa, or work visa, that had been issued on March 11. A Lebanese citizen, she was employed by Brown University as an assistant professor of medicine.
A kidney transplant specialist, Alawieh had also previously trained at both the University of Washington and Yale University.
The legal filing claimed that Brown's Division of Nephrology was "extremely distressed."
"She is an assistant professor and has serious responsibilities," the document attested. "Her colleagues have been covering for her, but that is no solution. Dr. Alawieh is an outstanding academic in Transplant Nephrology, and she is needed at Brown Medicine.”
Also according to the legal documents, DHS officials gave no reason for her detention.
Customs and Border Protection did not respond to ABC News’ questions regarding her whereabouts and did not disclose why she was denied entry into the U.S.
However, Hilton Beckham, CBP’s Assistant Commissioner of Public Affairs, shared a statement saying, "Arriving aliens bear the burden of establishing admissibility to the United States.Our CBP Officers adhere to strict protocols to identify and stop threats, using rigorous screening, vetting, strong law enforcement partnerships, and keen inspectional skills to keep threats out of the country. CBP is committed to protecting the United States from national security threats."
A U.S. district court judge in Massachusetts ordered that Alawieh should not be deported without 48 hours' notice and a reason why from DHS.
Instead, according to a notice of apparent violation, DHS “willfully” disregarded the court order and deported Alawieh to France, with a scheduled flight to continue on to Lebanon. It is unconfirmed if that deportation took place as planned.
The next hearing is Monday morning.
