Rasha Alawieh
Dr. Rasha Alawieh is a Lebanese kidney transplant specialist who recently made headlines after being deported from the United States despite holding a valid U.S. visa and having been appointed as an assistant professor of medicine at Brown University. Her abrupt deportation occurred shortly after her arrival at Boston Logan International Airport, where she was detained for over 36 hours.
