TUCSON, AZ – Immigration attorney Pamela Rioles Saeed, a U.S.-born citizen, was shocked to receive an email from the Department of Homeland Security advising her to self-deport. The attorney, based in Tucson, only represents immigrants seeking asylum and believes her email may have been mistakenly added to a database. Rioles Saeed worries about the impact this could have on others who are less knowledgeable about their legal status, especially those seeking asylum from dangerous situations like in Afghanistan.
She highlights the lack of legal representation for many in immigration proceedings and views the email as a violation of due process. Despite CBP acknowledging that some people received the email by mistake, there has been no response from DHS on the matter. Rioles Saeed emphasizes the importance of proper legal representation and the need for improved processes to ensure individuals receive accurate information about their immigration status. The email stated she had seven days to leave, causing concern and confusion for those affected.
