Summary: Nicole Micheroni, a Massachusetts-based immigration lawyer and U.S.-born citizen, received a startling email from immigration authorities on April 11 stating she must "leave the United States immediately" or face removal. The message was titled “Notice of Termination of Parole.”

Initially believing it was meant for a client, Micheroni realized the email was addressed solely to her. While officials from the Department of Homeland Security later suggested the notice may have been sent in error—due to her contact information appearing on a client’s paperwork—she expressed deep concern, calling it a possible scare tactic aimed at creating fear around immigration.

This incident occurs amid the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown, which includes efforts to deport even legally residing individuals and, controversially, suggestions that some U.S. citizens could be removed or imprisoned abroad—actions that legal experts affirm are unconstitutional.

The article also highlights broader concerns about Trump’s attacks on the free press and the global rise of authoritarianism, stressing the vital role of independent journalism in defending democracy and holding those in power accountable.
