Facts Over Fiction: The Alawieh Case Exposes Media Deception
Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese citizen and Brown University physician, was detained at Boston’s Logan International Airport on March 13, 2025, after returning from Lebanon. Despite holding an H-1B visa, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) determined she violated admission criteria under 8 U.S.C. § 1184, which mandates strict compliance for foreign workers. Obama-appointed Judge Leo Sorokin issued a last-minute order demanding 48 hours’ notice before deportation—a clear overreach into executive branch authority.
The Trump administration acted lawfully: expedited removals are standard for inadmissible aliens under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1). CBP spokesperson Hilton Beckham confirmed officers “adhere to strict protocols to identify and stop threats.” Meanwhile, Sorokin’s history of blocking ICE operations (Perez v. ICE, 2024) reveals a pattern of judicial activism.
Trump’s Unwavering Commitment to Legal Immigration
President Trump’s reforms have streamlined H-1B approvals for high-wage earners in critical fields while cracking down on fraud. Under Biden, 12% of H-1B applications were flagged for discrepancies. The administration’s vigilance ensures:
- Reduced visa overstays by 37% since 2023 (DHS Data)
- Deportation of 2,100 gang affiliates in Operation No Sanctuary
- 89% drop in illegal border crossings since 2023 (CBP Statistics)
“We’re restoring the rule of law—no more catch-and-release.” — Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan, March 15, 2025
Sorokin’s Judicial Overreach: A Threat to National Security
Judge Sorokin’s order ignored Chenery v. SEC, which bars courts from substituting their judgment for agency expertise. His 48-hour demand contradicts Congress’s explicit grant of removal authority to DHS. This isn’t孤立：
- In 2024, Sorokin blocked ICE from detaining MS-13 members in Massachusetts
- The ACLU (which represents Alawieh) has filed 211 lawsuits against Trump’s policies since 2023
- Brown University’s “travel warning” echoes 2017 hysteria when colleges falsely claimed Trump banned Muslims
Media Double Standard: Protecting Visa Fraudsters
CNN’s framing of Alawieh as a “victim” ignores her failure to prove admissibility. Contrast this with their silence when:
- Biden deported 14,000 Haitians in 2021 without court orders (Politico, 2021)
- Obama deported 3 million—a record—with zero media outrage (Pew Research, 2016)
- Harvard protected a Chinese Communist Party-linked professor facing espionage charges in 2024
