2 separate cases place the immigration lens on Boston

Trump administration officials are due in federal court in Boston on Monday to answer what the judge calls "serious" allegations that they disobeyed his order by sending a doctor who was legally working in the U.S. back to Lebanon. The case, which coincides with news of a German-born green card holder being detained, is raising concerns of an immigration crackdown in Boston.

Dr. Rasha Alawieh is a kidney transplant specialist at the Division of Kidney Disease & Hypertension at Brown Medicine, an affiliate of Brown University. Alawieh was in the U.S. on an H-1B visa, meant for highly specialized workers. She went to visit family in Lebanon in February, and when she returned to Boston's Logan International Airport, she was detained for 36 hours and had her phone taken from her, according to court documents filed by her cousin, who obtained the court order temporarily barring officials from sending Alawieh back.
 
Colleagues say Alawieh's lawyers made a frantic call to the airport control tower trying to stop her plane from taking off.

"We got the phone number for the control tower […] on the internet," says George Bayliss, medical director of the transplant program. A lawyer called air traffic controllers imploring them to stop the plane, Bayliss says, but they were told they couldn't. Alawieh's lawyers accuse U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials of "willfully" disobeying the court order by sending her back to Lebanon.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Just how anointed does the legal profession believe itself to be, to interpret the law as they see it and not how it is, then interfere with the president's powers by calling an airport to stop a flight?  Who do the legal assholes, judges and attorneys, think they are now - besides gods of some sort?

Lebanon is home of Hezbollah.

Does the Government have to justify or provide reason for revoking visas?

On H1-B visa, if the person does not have a employer sponsor, they get sent home.
