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.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

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.
