A little of this and that. Defender of rights and facts. Slava Ukraine. Ally and believer that Israel has a right to defend itself, but not commit genocide. Voting for convicted felons has severe consequences. Loving wife and mother.
Exactly. This is fairly complex and we still do not know all of the facts. No need to jump to conclusions.

It does compute. He said in his resignation letter why he was resigning.

Yes. I understand. He received a deportation because he did not show up to a hearing. That notice is from 2024. The letter saying that the situation has been resolved is from 2025. Accordingly, Dr. Roberts likely thought that this situation was resolved when it very well may not have been.

I'm not criticizing Dr. Roberts, I am criticizing his prior representation. That is not a proper closing letter.

Yes. That is why it is misleading. But there is no mention of the type of relief or whether anything else needs to happen. If there are no next steps, then say "You do not need to do anything else."

Too soon to say for sure, but likely he did have some kind of work authorization. His former attorney messed up big time with letter leading him to believe that all was resolved when it sounds like there were further steps. If you miss a hearing, the judge automatically enters an order for removal

Leave it to ICE to paint the worst possible picture of anyone, if not outright lie. Really hope Dr. Roberts gets the relief he deserves, that being that he is immigration status and finds another job. His track record is great.

That is woefully light on details that should be there. Says nothing about the immigration relief or next steps. I feel very bad for Dr. Roberts. Hopefully, his new representation can work this out. But from what I can tell, this is a great big misunderstanding with potential for a bad outcome.

So it sounds like he had a case, and has a previous attorney on that case in Texas and that attorney sent him a letter saying the case had been resolved positively. Robert's lawyer has that letter.

Lawyers for Roberts have filed a motion to stay the deportation hearing. This could be a tactic to force ICE to produce the order, per an immigration attorney I spoke to.

This could be strategic on lawyers part to get DHS to produce the deportation order.

Hold up, this is interesting. This may mean that there actually is an order. If that is the case, this is a very, very strange case.

So does this confirm there was a deportation order? Because I had thought that ICE had not released that order.

More RW feeding frenzy. Meanwhile, why won't ICE just release the deportation order they claim was issued under the Biden administration?

I know there is evidence he was registered to vote in MD. Pretty easy to look up if someone voted.

But I suppose it is possible he didn't use the card with restrictive legend. I had read that he was a US citizen.
And btw, voting when you are not a US citizen is a big no no. It eliminates any chance of a pathway to citizenship. If he voted in MD, and was not a citizen, that's a problem.
