According to now-sealed court filings, a Brown University doctor from Lebanon was denied entry into the United States after Customs and Border Protection found images of Hezbollah fighters on her phone.

Dr. Rasha Alawieh studied and worked on kidney transplant cases in the United States, including in Rhode Island, under the legal protection of a H-1B work visa. That was, until she was deported to her native Lebanon on Friday.

BOSTON (AP) — A doctor from Lebanon who arrived at the Boston airport was deported over the weekend without explanation, despite having a U.S. visa and a job teaching at Brown University. A judge had ordered she not be sent back until there was a hearing, but government lawyers said customs officials did not get word in time.
