The letter threatened that she would be subject to criminal prosecution, civil fines and fines if she did not ‘leave’ immediately.
She was also informed that her conditional release and any work authorization would end within seven days as a result.

‘You are currently here because the Department of Homeland Security you for a limited period in the United States in the United States conditional release’, the letter, sent at 2.05 hours
The letters they were sent came from the Ministry of the Interior Security and inquired that their ‘conditional release’ was terminated. Bello, however, had become an American citizen in 2007
Bello told the outlet that she believed that she had accidentally sent the letter because her e -mail address ‘was registered in one of the conditional requests for my customers’.
And Bello was not the only lawyer in Boston who received the same e -mail in which she said she had to leave the country.
The American citizen Nicole Micheroni was astonished for a moment when she opened the letter from the Department of Homeland Security on Friday morning.
The lawyer born in Newton initially took the e-mail with the title; ‘Notification of termination of conditional release’ was for one of its customers.
“Don’t try to stay in the United States – the federal government will find you.”
“It took me a few minutes to realize that it was sent to me, instead of someone I represent,” said Micheroni.
The DHS has since confirmed that the E -Mail was sent in the error.
“I never took the scary notification of DHs that I had 7 days to leave the country too seriously, because it was clearly a kind of mistake,” Micheroni added. “But what about the people what the e -mails were actually focused on?”

The e-mail was one of the many sent as part of the mass deportation plans of the Trump government, according to Sarah Sherman-Stokes, associated director of the Immigrants Rights and Human Trafficking Clinic at the Boston University School of Law.
She said that the letters were mainly sent to asylum seekers who used the CPB app from the BIDen era, with which they could plan hearings and appointments.
President Trump immediately took the program at the performance, causing thousands of people to climb to legal ways to pursue their asylum claims.
Since then, the DHS has said that more E -mails may have been sent incorrectly to American citizens if their data on CPB One applications have been used.
‘[Customs and Border Protection] Is monitoring communication and will tackle any issues on a case -by -case basis, “said the statement.
But Micheroni said she is still stunned about how she eventually received the e -mail.
“With the system you cannot include contact details from a lawyer, so we still have no idea how I ended up on the list,” she added.
‘CBP One was converted into’ CBP Home ‘, an app that helps’ immigrants ‘self -deport’.
“I never took the scary notification of DHs that I had 7 days to leave the country too seriously, because it was clearly a kind of mistake,” Micheroni added. “But what about the people what the e -mails were actually focused on?”
‘Withdrawal of conditional release is not the same as a deportation warrant, and this e -mail does not set deportation procedure.
“Everyone who has received this can still have options and must now talk to an immigration lawyer.”
An immigration lawyer, Emmanuel Olawale, said the Columbus Dispatch that several of its customers received similar Emails, including the American citizen employee Rea Main.
About the e -mail sent to Main, Olawale wrote on Facebook: ‘This is not just bureaucratic error. This is a horrifying example of how broken the system is – and how dangerous it can be when the government blindly aimed innocent people. ‘
But Olawale said that, regardless of immigration status, people should not deport themselves.
He said they still have the right to go through the American Immigration Court process, despite the method of their arrival in the country.
“We try to advise them, even if it’s scary, it’s illegal,” he told the outlet.
“You still have the right to a decent process under the 14th amendment, which covers citizens and non -citizens when they are on American soil.”
As part of the migration performance, the Trump government had tried to deport hundreds of thousands of people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela by terminating a termination of legal humanitarian protection under Biden
“Imagine telling your customers:” This is not legal, they can’t do this “, but they do it anyway,” he told the outlet. “The powerless and the voice has just been ignored, even when they go through the right path to get justice”
Olawale acknowledged that convincing his clients to overlook their fear in favor of the law, however, proved difficult.
He added that the threatening tone of the e -mails was concerned and said: “It is if:” In the same way as you’ve found your way here, you have to find your way back home, without the right process. ”
“Imagine telling customers:” This is not legal, they can’t do this “, but they do it anyway,” he told the outlet. “The powerless and the voiceless have just been ignored, even if they go through the right path to get justice.”
As part of the migration -performance, the Trump had sought government Deport hundreds of thousands of people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela by putting an end.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi said that more than 500,000 people from four countries would be given until 24 April to leave.
However, the initiative suffered a setback last week after a judge had blocked the order.
During a hearing, the American district judge Indira Talwani repeatedly doubted the government’s claim that she could end the humanitarian conditional release for the four nationalities.
She argued that immigrants in the program that are legally here are now confronted with an option to ‘flee the country’ or to stay and ‘the risk of running everything’.
“The core of the problem here is that the Secretary must have a reasoning decision by the conditional period offered by these persons,” Talwani said that the explanation for termination of the program was based on an incorrect reading of the law. ‘
“There was a deal and now that deal has been undermined,” she said later in the hearing.
DHS previously stated that the recent deportation -Push does not extend to Ukrainian and Afghan war refugees who have received a temporary special status.
