64% : U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin ordered CBP on March 14 to give the court 48 hours' notice if the agency planned to move the doctor anywhere, but Alawieh's representatives said CBP nevertheless flew her out of the country that evening after the judge issued his order, "willfully" ignoring Sorokin's directive.
59% : They said that upon returning to the U.S. from Beirut last week, she was held at Logan Airport in Boston for 36 hours before CBP flew her out of the country.
47% : However, Sorokin wrote in a subsequent order that Department of Justice attorneys provided an explanation and he would postpone the hearing for a week. "Officers at Logan did not receive notice of the Court's Order from their legal counsel until after Dr. Alawieh 'had already departed the United States' and that '[a]t no time would CBP not take a court order seriously or fail to abide by a court's order,'" Sorokin wrote of the DOJ attorneys' explanation.
47% : TRUMP DHS DEBUTS PHONE APP FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO SELF-DEPORT Alawieh said her support for Nasrallah was strictly from a religious perspective, but CBP was unconvinced by Alawieh's responses. "CBP questioned Dr. Alawieh and determined that her true intentions in the United States could not be determined," a DOJ prosecutor wrote.
