A Brown University medical professor was deported to Lebanon over the weekend despite having a valid US work visa, defying a judge’s order blocking her immediate removal from the country.

Federal prosecutors on Monday alleged that they deported 34-year-old Rasha Alawieh after discovering “sympathetic photos and videos” on hercell phone of prominent figures of Iran-backed Hezbollah. Alawieh told federal agents that she had recently attended the funeral of the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, whom she supported from a “religious perspective”, according to Reuters.


This is how fascism works.
 
Rasha Alawieh was denied reentry into the United States rather than being deported.

She arrived at Boston Logan International Airport on March 13, 2025, after a trip to Lebanon, holding a valid H-1B visa.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials detained her, questioned her about her activities and phone contents, and subsequently refused her entry.

She was then placed on a flight to Paris on March 14, 2025, en route back to Lebanon.

While some reports and discussions use the term "deported" for simplicity, the precise action was a refusal of reentry, as she was not already residing in the U.S. at the time of the incident but was attempting to return.

This distinction aligns with immigration processes where entry can be denied at the border, even to visa holders, based on perceived security concerns or other discretionary grounds.

Foreign nationals do not have an inherent "right" to enter the United States on an H-1B visa or any other visa.

Entry into the U.S. is a privilege granted by the U.S. government, subject to its immigration laws and policies.

The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations, such as technology, engineering, or medicine, where specialized knowledge is required.

Approval is not guaranteed—it’s subject to government discretion, availability of visas, and compliance with regulations.

The U.S. Constitution and international law do not grant foreign nationals a legal right to enter the country; sovereignty allows the U.S. to set its own immigration standards.

So, it’s a conditional opportunity shaped by U.S. law.

Deported Brown University doctor Rasha Alawieh attended funeral for slain Hezbollah chief, had ‘sympathetic photos’ of terror leaders on her phone: DOJ​



The Trump administration deported a Lebanese doctor who was an assistant professor at Brown University’s medical school after she addmitted that she attended a funeral for slain Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, officials said.


Alawieh, a kidney transplant doctor, was also allegedly caught with pictures and videos of Hezbollah leaders in the deleted items folder of her cellphone, Politico said.

“A visa is a privilege not a right — glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied. This is common sense security,” the DHS said in a statement.

She wasn't deported. Her visa was revoked and she was refused entry to the US.
