US Citizen Immigration Attorney Receives Letter Demanding Self-Deportation

Massachusetts resident Nicole Micceroni received an email from the federal government on April 11 demanding that she leave the country. This puzzled her, because she is a U.S. citizen, writes NBC.

“At first I thought it was about a client. But I reread it and it only had my name,” Micceroni said. “It said my password status had been revoked and I had to leave the country within seven days.”

However, Micceroni is a U.S. citizen, born in Newton and raised in Sharon.

"I hope it was sent to me by mistake," she said. "But it's a little disturbing that these kinds of letters are being sent to US citizens."

Micceroni is an immigration attorney who works with many clients facing possible deportation, so her name and email are often listed on various documents.

"The wording in the letter is very threatening," she said. "And it looks like a dubious spam letter. It doesn't look like an official notification from the government, but in fact it is."

A senior Department of Homeland Security official said in a statement that Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is sending out notices of conditional release revocation to individuals who do not have legal status to be in the country.

“CBP used known alien email addresses to send notifications,” he explained. “If a non-personal email address was provided (such as a U.S. citizen contact), notifications may have been sent to the wrong destination. CBP is monitoring these messages and will resolve issues on a case-by-case basis.”

"I think it's very frightening," Micceroni said. "I think it shows they're being careless."

Micceroni posted about the letter on social media and received thousands of responses from around the world.

"I think it's a scare tactic," she said. "They want people to be afraid of immigration."

Micceroni said she has no plans to contact the Department of Homeland Security and assumes it was an administrative error.

She hopes that this is where it all ends.
