Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a doctor and assistant professor with a visa to work in Rhode Island, was deported to her native Lebanon over the weekend despite an ongoing dispute over her detention by federal agents and a court order intended to keep her in the United States.

Court documents say Customs and Border Protection violated a court order to halt the deportation of Dr. Rasha Alawieh, which the agency allegedly carried out “without any justification.”

Last week, a Brown University surgeon was deported to Lebanon in violation of a court order. While it was not immediately clear why the doctor, Rasha Alawieh, had been detained and deported, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) later alleged that she had expressed support for the terrorist group Hezbollah.
