In an order filed just as Monday’s hearing was set to get underway, Sorokin said he had received testimony that “(o)fficers 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 on Friday had ordered Alawieh “shall not be moved outside the District of Massachusetts without providing the Court 48 hours’ advance notice,” saying it was necessary “to give the Court time to consider the matter.”

The Department of Homeland Security said on Monday that an assistant professor from Brown University who was deported last week had attended a Hezbollah terrorist's funeral in Lebanon.

Brown University has advised its international students and staff against traveling abroad after a university professor holding a valid visa was deported upon her return from Lebanon, where she attended the funeral of the late Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah. Brown's guidance came in a campus-wide email sent Sunday, one week before the university's spring break. The Brown Daily Herald first reported on the email. "Potential changes in travel restrictions and travel bans, visa procedures and processing, re-entry requirements and other travel-related delays may affect travelers' ability to return to the U.S. as planned," Executive Vice President for Planning and Policy Russell Carey wrote in the email. The Department of Homeland Security said Alawieh was returning from Lebanon after attending "the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah — a brutal terrorist who led Hezbollah, responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade terror spree," The Wall Street Journal reported. Further, DHS said Alawieh had photos of Nasrallah and Iran leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on her phone but deleted them before returning to the U.S. "A visa is a privilege not a right," DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to The New York Times. "Glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied. This is common-sense security."
