The Department of Homeland Security said on Monday that an assistant professor from Brown University who was deported last week had attended a Hezbollah terrorist's funeral in Lebanon.

The agency posted the announcement on X on Monday, after deporting Rasha Alawieh, a professor for the university's medical school, on Friday. Alawieh was in the U.S. on an H-1B visa, which is typically issued to foreign nationals with special job skills that an employer claims are difficult to find in American candidates.

"Last month, Rasha Alawieh traveled to Beirut, Lebanon, to attend the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah—a brutal terrorist who led Hezbollah, responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade terror spree," DHS wrote on X. "Alawieh openly admitted to this to CBP officers, as well as her support of Nasrallah. A visa is a privilege not a right—glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied. This is commonsense security."

Alawieh was deported from the U.S. on Friday after arriving at the Boston airport Thursday and being questioned by Customs and Border Protection agents, Politico reported. She claimed that she followed Nasrallah's teachings “from a religious perspective,” but not a political one.

“CBP questioned Dr. Alawieh and determined that her true intentions in the United States could not be determined,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Sady wrote in a court filing submitted on Monday.

A hearing was originally scheduled by a federal judge for Monday to determine whether the U.S. government had defied the court's Friday order requiring Alawieh not be deported without giving the judge advance notice. U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin postponed the Monday hearing to give the government another week to provide more information about what occurred with Alawieh.

CBP official John Wallace filed a sworn declaration with the court, saying that CBP officials at Boston’s Logan Airport did not receive formal notification of the court order through official channels before Alawieh boarded an Air France flight on Friday night.
