Justice Department Says Visa-Holding Ivy League Doctor Barred From Re-Entry to the United States After Attending Funeral of Hezbollah Leader in Lebanon
Dr. Rasha Alawieh attempted to return to America via Boston’s Logan Airport, before immigration officials put her on a plane back to Lebanon.

A professor of medicine at Brown University was forced to return to her native Lebanon after allegedly admitting to immigration officials that she had attended the funeral of Hezbollah’s longtime leader during a visit to the country.
The Justice Department claims Dr. Rasha Alawieh — a longtime U.S. visa holder — also allegedly had photos and videos on her phone that suggested she was sympathetic to the foreign terrorist organization, according to court documents filed on Monday.
