Health care: RI Department of Health wishes to know if 'You Good, Man?' Why they're asking

A Brown Medicine doctor 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 country without first holding a court hearing, federal legal representatives are arguing in court papers.

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

Lawyers for Alawieh have actually argued in a lawsuit that the medical professional need to have been given a hearing before a migration judge prior to being positioned back on an airplane for Lebanon.

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