A Brown Medicine physician was deported without a hearing. The feds argue they were in the right.

Border agents at Boston Logan International Airport had every legal authority in March to speed up the elimination of a Rhode Island Hospital physician from the nation without very first holding a court hearing, federal attorneys are arguing in court documents.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents obstructed Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, a kidney transplant expert for the physicians group Brown Medicine, from reentering the country on March 14 after questioning her about photos on her phone of Hassan Nasrallah, a Hezbollah terrorist group leader, in addition to Hezbollah "fighters and martyrs." The agents canceled her visa and considered her "inadmissible" to reenter the United States.

Lawyers for Alawieh have actually argued in a claim that the physician must have been granted a hearing before a migration judge prior to being positioned back on an for Lebanon.

Her lawyers challenge the agents' authority to make such life-altering choices without being federal appointees under the Constitution's "Appointment Clause." And they are asking U.S. District Court in Massachusetts to purchase the federal government to return Alawieh's H1-B visa, which allows employers to hire immigrants for specialty professions.

With Alawieh still in Lebanon waiting for the result of the case, The Journal's Tom Mooney discusses the legal arguments on both sides.
