How Are The Deportation Proceedings Going So Far?
- Good. Mistakes are inevitable
- So-So. Could have been handled better, but I support the cause
- Bad. This should have been planned out better and is disenfranchising people
- I don't know
The message claimed her “parole” had been terminated, a term used in immigration law to describe temporary permission for non-citizens to stay in the U.S. But Micheroni is a U.S. citizen. And that’s exactly what’s raising alarm bells for her.
“I knew it was sent to me in error and so wasn’t worried,” she said in a thread on Bluesky. “But what about the people the emails were actually aimed at?”
The email she received said bluntly, “It is time for you to leave the United States.” While Micheroni could brush it off, she’s concerned that others who received similar messages might not realize the mistake — or feel empowered to challenge it, she told WCVB.
Micheroni was born at Newton Wellesley Hospital, grew up in Sharon, and was educated at Wellesley College — all in Massachusetts, per the outlet.
The messages she received appear to be linked to the CBP One mobile app, a tool created during the Biden administration to streamline asylum appointments and border crossings. That system was later canceled under President Donald Trump. But fallout from the program still seems to be affecting people today.
Customs and Border Protection confirmed that emails were sent to individuals who had entered the U.S. through the app, but sometimes those alerts ended up in the wrong inbox, the agency told The Huffington Post.
“CBP used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications,” a CBP official told the news outlet. “If a non-personal email, such as an American citizen contact, was provided by the alien, notices may have been sent to unintended recipients.”
CBP said it’s now reviewing the issue and promised to handle it “on a case-by-case basis.”
For Micheroni, the experience underscores a deeper worry — that people without legal training, or who already feel vulnerable, may be taking these emails at face value and leaving the country when they don’t actually have to.
