Deported R.I. Doctor Had Photos of Hezbollah on Phone

Rasha Alawieh, the Rhode Island doctor deported last week, had photos on her phone of Iranian and Hezbollah leaders, according to court documents.

Alawieh was questioned about the photos by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents at Boston’s Logan International Airport, The Boston Globe reported, citing court documents.

An assistant professor at Brown University’s medical school, Alawieh was deported to Lebanon even though a judge issued an order blocking the U.S. visa holder’s immediate removal from the country, according to court papers.
